Garrison Bros Bourbon - Texas' First
This is the first bourbon made outside of TN and KY in the US and is a Texas original down to its ingredients.
They started with a 2008 vintage and release teaser 375ml bottles twice in 2010 that sold out within days. Recently the first full 750ml bottles came out. Only available in the Texas hill country , a scant hand numbered 4200 bottles were made available. I had to pull a few favors to get these bottles. I am not a bourbon fiend, but do enjoy a good bourbon and beer from time to time so bear with me. On to the review: Tasting done neat with a side of water. Pours clean and neat with a lovely caramel color. Very fruity nose with a definite hint of the heat to come (94 proof). First sip is cool to the lips, with a great bourbon flavor (sorry can't describe this). When swallowed a punch of heat followed by mellow warmth. As the warmth subside nice woodsy after taste. All in all a good bourbon to pair with cigars, but then again I haven't found one that doesn't. As their distribution increases I hope to be able to source this bourbon consistently. It is a worthy effort of a small family owned distillery, something we woefully lack in Texas. Last edited by kydsid; 06-14-2011 at 07:09 PM. |
