Balcones is a mixed bag IMHO. Their head distiller left some time back, and they haven't been the same since.

Baby Blue is terrible. It's just foul. Band-aids and vodka and no real corn or wood flavors. The single malt is OK... but just OK.

I like their smoked bourbon (mesquite smoked, IIRC). They used to have another bourbon that was fantastic (True Blue, IIRC), but it's not available today.
