Chip Tate, master distiller, and Winston Edwards, brand ambassador, were both present.  As we progressed through the entire collection, Chip gave some insight into the history and details of each one.  It was thoroughly enjoyable (Mark and Ken were great company, as well as our new friend, Terry, from Cedar Hill) and each of the whiskeys was very good in its own right.  The highlights of the evening were a tasting of Balcones 5th Anniversary Texas Straight Bourbon (only a single barrel produced), then (on the &#8220;down low&#8221;) a sample of Brimstone Resurrection with a complimentary Balcones-labeled Glencairn whisky glass (thanks, Chip!).  The latter could quite possibly be the best whisky I&#8217;ve tasted.  I&#8217;ll let you know when I get a bottle. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trinity Hall hosted a tasting of the collection of whiskeys from Balcones Distilling in Waco, TX.
