![]() In 2016 with its new digs in place, Balcones eagerly began to welcome visitors. By February 2016, the distillery now had 4 stories, 65,000 square feet of space, and perhaps most importantly, new custom Scottish pot stills with which to continue to create their original brand of Texas whisky. Retrofitting the 100 year old historic property was a Texas-sized undertaking. In 2015, after a few years of wrangling, Balcones began construction on its new facility. In 2011, the solution began to slowly materialize when the distillery purchased the historic Texas Fireproof Storage Company building located in downtown Waco, just a few blocks from Balcones’ original home. To solve this problem, the distillery desperately needed more space, not to mention larger pot stills. More recognition and awards continued to follow, and in no time Balcones had a demand that outweighed their supply. The Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky had wowed the judges. The reason being was that the distillery, not yet a year and a half old, walked away with a double gold medal in the corn whiskey category at the 2010 San Francisco International Spirits Competition. The following year, this former welding shop turned homemade distillery began producing its own whiskies and by April 2010, it became clear that the tiny underpass (the building sets under the 17th St bridge) operation was something special. In 2008, Balcones Distilling quietly sprang to life in the unassuming Texas town of Waco. Place your order or find a location near you today.Please enjoy our Balcones Distilling Tour Review!
