Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Cask Strength Single Barrel Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Texas Bourbon at Its Boldest

Meet the Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Cask Strength Single Barrel, a Texas Straight Bourbon as bold as the Lone Star State. Filled in June 2018, drawn from Barrel #1427, and aged over 7 years, this limited-edition gem is double-barreled in new white oak and double wax dipped for a premium, flavor-packed finish. At a fiery 132.8 proof, the nose opens with pecan pralines and maple doughnuts, leading to a syrupy palate of 'Dr. Pepper' spice, cherry cordials, and burnt marshmallow. This 'bourbon candy in a bottle' finishes long with cinnamon red-hots and leather, offering a rich tapestry of flavors for the daring collector.

For being a small distillery in Texas, the Garrison Brothers have a fairly wide range of products. But their flagship Whiskey is their Barrel #6 Bourbon. 

The name stems from when they were just getting started and had a dozen or so test barrels aging in their warehouse, as they were refining their formulation.

The Garrison’s determined that the Bourbon aging in barrel #6 was the optimal formula. Thus the name, and Barrel #6 Bourbon Whiskey is still the core of their product line.

The aroma has strong notes of butterscotch and vanilla with a bit of coconut. The palate crackles with caramelized sugar and brown butter and warm toast. The mouth-feel is pleasantly thick and rich too.
