Garrison Brothers Honey Dew Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
DescriptionGarrison Brothers Honey Dew represents an innovative twist on their Texas bourbon, infusing their straight bourbon with Texas wildflower honey. This expression walks the line between traditional bourbon and liqueur, creating something unique that maintains bourbon character while adding natural sweetness and floral complexity. The use of local honey connects this bourbon even more deeply to Texas terroir.
The nose immediately reveals the honey influence – alongside Garrison Brothers' characteristic bold bourbon notes of caramel and vanilla, there are pronounced floral aromas from the wildflower honey, creating an almost perfumed quality. Notes of orange blossom, clover, and subtle herbs mingle with traditional bourbon spice and oak. On the palate, Honey Dew delivers a unique experience: the honey adds viscosity and sweetness without being cloying, enhancing rather than masking the bourbon character. Flavors include honey-drizzled cornbread, vanilla, cinnamon, floral notes, and the robust oak influence that defines Garrison Brothers.
The integration of honey with bourbon is expertly balanced. The finish is smooth and lingering, with the honey adding length while bourbon warmth carries through. This is perfect for those who find traditional bourbon too aggressive, or for creating unique cocktails that play off the honey notes. Whether enjoyed neat as a dessert bourbon, over ice on a hot Texas day, or in creative cocktails, Garrison Brothers Honey Dew represents thoughtful innovation that respects bourbon tradition while offering something genuinely new.
