To see the water flowing up from the underground spring into the canals is mesmerizing, undeniable evidence that God exists. In 1849, the springs were known as Mescalero Springs, after the Mescalero Apache who watered their horses here. Native Americans also swam the springs before the sadistic Spanish explorers came to the area. It’s rumored that big game hunters may have gathered at the springs in the Balmorhea area 11,000 years ago. These men formed an irrigation company in the area in the early 20th century. The park’s name comes from four men’s surnames: E.D. After rounds of tear-filled high fives and brotherly hugs, we started talking about names – the easiest part of getting this sensational liquid to market.Ībout 40 miles south of Pecos, Texas, there’s a little swimming hole called Balmorhea where I took my kids when they were young. In 2017, the bourbon was dumped into a long, thin stainless steel trough we call The Whiskey Girl, and we all began nosing and tasting the results. This second round of barrels had far different lignin and chemical compositions than the original barrels because they had been scorched and toasted differently, caramelizing the sugars in a wonderful new way. He then rolled a few 27-gallon Kelvin Cooperage barrels from Louisville, Kentucky below the tank spigot and filled the barrels with the already two-year-old straight bourbon. In 2015, Donnis lugged the barrels in from the barns and dumped the liquid into stainless steel tanks. All the while, the liquid inside cycled through the wood’s pores and crevices, extracting every bit of flavor possible. The barrels were then aged in the relentless West Texas heat for two years. In 2013, our Master Distiller Donnis Todd filled 22 new American white oak barrels from The Barrel Mill – a Minnesota cooperage – with freshly-distilled 114 proof white dog. Simply put, Balmorhea is bourbon candy in a bottle. This magnificent Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bold but majestically-crafted, having been aged four years in new American white oak barrels, then transferred to a second new American white oak barrel, and aged for one year.
