Had other plans so couldn’t try the spirits, but their beer is also great!

The tour was wonderful! I'm glad that I chose to take the tour on my birthday, because it was really fun to celebrate and look around at the amazing facility and learn their production process too.

Cara is an absolute legend. We've done a handful of distillery tours and this was the best. Incredible knowledge and passion. Highly recommend.

Very informative tour and still attentive staff with how busy the place seemed to be. Glad to share some of Waco with friends and family.

Richard Nitz
Our group had an excellent and informative tour. Our guide, Cara, was well informed and easily answered our questions. Thanks Cara! After the tour, we had a few perfectly prepared cocktails in the bar. I took home a bottle of single malt and a bottle of rye. The rye makes a wonderful Old Fashioned!

A decent first time tour if you're unaware of how the entire process works. They do make some great drinks in the tasting room. I am more of a bourbon guy, but Balcones makes a great single malt.

Took the distillery tour. We had a great time. Our tour guide, Alexander, was terrific. He presented a knowledgeable and clear explanation of Balcone's whiskey making process. A taste testing of five of the whiskey products created by Balcones was fun and informative. Recommend highly.

It was a good time.

The balcones logo and name is based on the valley trench where the distillery originally sourced its water. The distiller opened in 2008 and now operates out of the fireproof storage building which once housed luxury fur coats. This building is one of the survivors of the deadly and destructive 1953 tornado outbreak (along side the Alico building, which was at one point in time the tallest skyscraper south of the Mason-Dixon Line). The distillery boast the “unofficial” largest copper stills. Their single malt and brimstone editions offer a unique Texas smoke and leather taste to it. Its provenance could be attributed to the terry blacks BBQ next door which offers delicious brisket. Diageo acquired the distillery in December of ‘22. Their blue corn based whiskey “Baby blue” is smooth. They also have a micro brewery footprint onsite and at some local pubs.
A don’t miss while in Waco!
