Garrison Brothers Sonora opens bold and astringent on the nose, but on the palate, it starts to open up. You still catch that initial sharpness, but then it smooths out, allowing the subtle honey sweetness to come through. There’s a complexity that reminds you this is unmistakably a Garrison Brothers bourbon. You can feel the legacy and craftsmanship in every sip. It’s a bourbon that evolves in the glass, offering a journey from bold and edgy to smoother, sweeter depths. All in all I would keep this in my bar.
