Garrison Brothers Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey (750 ml)
Availability: Out of stock
Quick Overview
The only geographic requirement for bourbon is that it has to be made in America. Kentucky may have the most storied history, but many of today's best, most delicious bourbons are made in other states. Garrison Brothers founder Dan learned how to distill in the Bluegrass State, where he worked as an intern at several well-known distilleries. But he didn't want to just copy what everyone else was doing. He set out to make a true, Texas original.

Details
Rich with the butterscotch and vanilla caramel we expect from bourbon, there’s also a deep, earthy undertone. Dark amber in color, this two year old whiskey seems to have been aged in smaller barrels to give it more surface exposure and therefore more color in a shorter period of time. Using small barrels is also apparent on the nose, which leads off with young wood, with an aroma like walking into one of those unfinished furniture stores. Underneath this wood is caramel, coconut, pecan, cornmeal, and a touch of cinnamon spice. Two years is pretty young for a whiskey and that youth is apparent on the nose, which has some nice aromas, but they’re not very well integrated. You also have to dig pretty hard past the young wood and sawdust to get to them. It's hard not to keep pouring just a little bit more of this full-flavored bourbon, as bold as you’d expect from a distillery in a Texas ranch.
