Tastes

The bite is a wall that you just will not get past sometimes. When you do, though, typically by building yourself up with a higher proof beforehand, the flavor is fantastic. Not your typical bourbon, this freedom-loving pour will leave you feeling whole as it rolls deep with nutmeg & brown sugar through a hearty finish.

This is a run-of-the-mill but smooth bourbon. It's fantastic for introducing newbies to good quality pours, and for a simple sipper, but nothing beyond that. It lacks depth and finish that an experienced bourboner desires, and that's ok at $25. Pour it neat or mix it, no guilt either way.

5 stars is rare for me, but this is it. Bourbon foundations are all here, but with a deep cherry flavor that cannot be beat. This is an anytime sipper and one to share with those looking to go beyond the basic pour. It could easily be a dessert bourbon with the sweet, smooth finish this delivers. A steal below $70.

Water it down a tad to get past the 127 proof and you'll be on a journey of flavors that spans the world. Scotch, bourbon, rye, irish.. it is all here. Not a daily pour, this only for those days you want to break free... low ratings of this are from snobs expecting consistency - this is NOT for them.

Expect an unusual bourbon when drinking this. Texas heat makes this and all Garrisons a totally different experience. This one brings sweet molasses from a nose of leather right off the ranch. Finish includes spice and blood orange. Everyone must try this to understand it. Fantastic pour.

Inexpensive, simple bourbon but with a twist. The apple finish is delicious, and the smoothness outstanding. A daily sipper.

Has a rye finish
