Garrison Brothers Sonora Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Sonora: Texas Spirit in a Bottle

Introducing Sonora, a Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey that’s as wild and untamed as the Lone Star State itself. Aged for 7 years, this bourbon is finished in rye whiskey barrels, a nod to its namesake, the Caverns of Sonora. Crafted under the guidance of Samantha Olvera, the first female Latina bourbon maker in Texas, it boasts rich notes of sweet corn, oak, and rye spices. With an ABV that packs a punch, Sonora is a tribute to female leadership in bourbon craftsmanship.

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.
