We're celebrating National Bourbon Heritage Month We're celebrating National Bourbon Heritage Month with @balconesdistilling! From grain to glass, Waco-based Balcones sought out the perfect ingredients to make a luscious, memorable drink. We sipped on Texas Pot Still Bourbon and enjoyed the big flavors, plus a soft and sweet finish. Food pairing: Works well (mixed or straight) with any sweet, smoky or spicy foods. This is definitely one that will be enjoyed by new and long-standing bourbon fans alike! #hosted #dallasfoodnerd #bourbon
