I came with my parents and was greeted with staff that seemed annoyed and did not want our business. Will not be returning.

Definitely cannot rate this place any higher!! I love Balcones. I am definitely always trying to find an excuse to go drink some Balcones. From their events in the summer like Summer Surf Fest or Summer of Rum. The bartender Laura is so helpful and knows so much about all their drinks and the process of how they are made. Eric is super helpful and friendly as well! Go on a date here for sure!

Alexander is a gem. Truly enjoyed our tour, celebrating our 11th anniversary. If you’re making the trip to Waco, make sure this is on your itinerary.

Excellent tour, Alexander was a fantastic tour guide. Enjoyed spending time in the tasting room after and trying more samples. Great experience and whiskies!

I went with my friend on Friday to celebrate her birthday! Had a great time. They have a lot of unique options which I loved! Nice atmosphere and staff too. Definitely recommend!

Excellent choice for a visit if you are a fan of craft brewing. Flavored and traditional bourbon and rums are well described on the menu and deliver the expected flavor profile. Wife tried the Dark & Stormy, Queen Anne's Revenge (both were excellent) and the Rum Rizz which was good but a step below the others. I started with a Manhattan (excellent flavor) and the Bourbon Smash bookended a flight of bourbon. Smash was a good palate cleanse after the bourbon flight which was a great value (generous pours) and very tasteful. Definitely recommend this destination.

I've been to Balcones multiple times as they are my favorite whiskey to date. I grew interested in Texas Whiskey a few years ago when I was given a sample of Balcones and told about the Texas Whiskey Trail.Every time I visit this distillery, they have fantastic cocktails that are creative and fun. The staff is always welcoming and appreciates the business whether your first visit or 100th.Balcones is a pioneer of Texas Whiskey along with defining what American Single Malt is all about. If you have not tried Balcones yet, give it a whirl - you will be impressed. I highly recommend their Brimstone and "1" single malt to start out - they are quite delicious and represent what Balcones is all about.
