Bold. Complex. A Texas Original.
Crafted to celebrate Balcones’ 15th anniversary, Cataleja is a powerful and sophisticated Texas single malt. Aged in used Kentucky bourbon barrels, then finished in rare Spanish sherry casks—including Moscatel, Amontillado Dulce, Oloroso, and Palo Cortado—it showcases remarkable depth, richness, and balance.
