Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon (2023 Release)

Bourbon — Texas, USA

Reviewed December 4, 2023 (edited October 21, 2024)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
Boozy pecan pie. This was courtesy of @ctbeck11 , for our quarterly online tasting with @Richard-ModernDrinking , @pkingmartin and @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington . Was really looking forward to this one in particular, just bc I’m a huge fan of Garrison’s. Garrison is generally quite expensive for everything outside their standard small batch and boot flask, and those are shit anyway. But their premium offering, like Cowboy, are amazing. It’s pricey because Texas whiskey isn’t easy. 120 degrees in the warehouse , followed by cold winter nights. That takes a lot out in angels share. You can be left with an oily sludge, or a masterpiece. It’s a fine line that takes a deft hand. At hazmat level, you have to add water. Well, you don’t have to…but you should. I did first smell it and take a sip without water. Immense oak and dough, pecan pie aromas. Palette is all pecan pie and marshmallows. Now, with water, the pecan pie becomes more prominent. The texture is thick and oily as well. Honestly, you can’t tell this is 70+ hazmat level. It feels and drinks lighter. Until of course you have a few sips, and then can’t feel your mouth anymore. Super well made, thanks for the pour @ctbeck11 , and am glad I bought a bottle.

    @PBMichiganWolverine that’s a pretty amazing statement. It’s a beast but it’s a beautiful beast.

    @tquse definitely not for the faint of heart. But if I had $250 to spend on American whiskey, I’d get just one bottle. This would be that bottle.
