Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon

I want to love this bourbon, I really do. It has strong flavors and complexity you wouldn't expect from 3 years in the barrel, so the whole "Texas climate," isn't a gimmick. It's a cool bottle, and delivers on the sweetness of a wheated whiskey. They only thing I don't love is the price. At $60, I could see this as a serious contender for people's wallets. At $40 it would practically fly off the shelves. But at $80 it's really hard to justify over plenty of other great bourbons for half the price. The price is really what drops the rating for me, because otherwise I'd be ranking it a 4.5 easily. But who knows, at the rate of inflation and the whiskey market, $80 might just become the new $40 and we'll be begging to buy this.

Nose carry’s classic Carmel flavors and that continues to the taste. Second drink added vanilla notes, by the third it tasted like stevia

Bourbon for ‘grown ups’ according to my Gf!

Solid Texas whiskey, but way to expensive. Things I like more Balcones Rye {$40}, I paid $44 for a 375ml at Total wine Nose: vanilla, caramel, corn whiskey Palate: caramel, drying oak tannins, texas heat vegetal note Finish: dry tannic, more vanilla, tongue tingling
