Brand History: Texas Bourbon Pioneers

Garrison Brothers Distillery, founded by Dan Garrison in Hye, Texas, holds the distinction of being the first legal bourbon distillery established in Texas. They are renowned for their "grain-to-glass" approach, using locally sourced Texas corn, soft red winter wheat, and barley, and aging their bourbon in the demanding Texas climate. This intense heat and temperature fluctuation accelerates the maturation process, creating bold, rich, and often high-proof whiskies with a character distinctly their own.

The "Hazmat" designation is informally given to bourbons with exceptionally high proofs, often exceeding 140 proof, signifying their potent nature. Garrison Brothers has become legendary for these powerful expressions, which showcase the raw intensity and concentrated flavors that Texas aging can produce. You can learn more about their pioneering spirit and unique processes on the official Garrison Brothers website.

Tasting Notes: An Intense Symphony of Texas Terroir

A 6+ year old Texas bourbon at a staggering 154.7 proof, like the 'Everything Is Proofer In Texas' selection, promises an incredibly bold and complex tasting experience. The intense Texas climate deeply influences the spirit. While each single barrel offers unique nuances:

• Nose: Expect an overwhelming wave of rich, dark aromas. Deep notes of burnt caramel, molasses, and dark chocolate are likely prominent, alongside robust toasted oak, vanilla extract, and scorched brown sugar. Hints of roasted coffee beans, baked figs, leather, and a distinct sweet corn essence, all amplified by the very high alcohol content, which will be immediately apparent.
• Palate: An explosion of flavor with a thick, syrupy texture. Intense sweetness of dark toffee, maple syrup, and candied pecans will wrestle with powerful charred oak, black pepper, and cinnamon spice. Layers of dark dried fruit, espresso, and perhaps a touch of smoky mesquite or dark chili powder could emerge, reflecting its Texas heritage. The uncut and unfiltered nature means a full, rich mouthfeel carrying every ounce of flavor.
• Finish: Incredibly long, exceptionally potent, and profoundly warming. The 154.7 proof will ensure a finish that lingers for minutes, with evolving notes of sweet oak, dark cocoa, robust spice, and a satisfying, almost fiery, Texas heat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Q: What does "Hazmat" mean in the context of bourbon?

  • A: "Hazmat" is an informal term used by bourbon enthusiasts to describe bourbons with exceptionally high alcohol content, typically over 140 proof (70% ABV). The term playfully refers to hazardous materials due to the high flammability and intensity.

• Q: How does the Texas climate affect bourbon aging?

  • A: The Texas climate, with its significant temperature swings and high heat, accelerates the interaction between the bourbon and the oak barrel. This generally leads to faster maturation, deeper color, and more intense flavors, often with bolder oak and caramel notes, and higher proofs due to increased evaporation (the "angel's share").

• Q: What is significant about Barrel No. 14795?

  • A: Barrel No. 14795 is the specific, individual barrel hand-selected by Nestor Liquor for this 'Everything Is Proofer In Texas' bottling. As a single barrel, its contents have a unique flavor profile distinct from any other barrel.

• Q: Is 154.7 proof safe to drink? How should it be consumed?

  • A: While safe to consume in moderation for those accustomed to high-proof spirits, 154.7 proof is extremely potent. It should be approached with caution and respect. It is strongly recommended to sip it very slowly. Many enthusiasts prefer to add a few drops of distilled water or a small ice cube to gradually dilute it, which can help tame the alcohol and open up the complex flavors. Never drink high-proof spirits irresponsibly.

• Q: Who are Garrison Brothers?

  • A: Garrison Brothers Distillery, located in Hye, Texas, is celebrated as the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas. They are known for producing bold, high-quality, grain-to-glass Texas bourbon.

• Q: What does "Uncut & Unfiltered" mean for this bourbon?

  • A: "Uncut" means the bourbon is bottled at its natural cask strength from the barrel, with no water added to lower the proof. "Unfiltered" (or non-chill filtered) indicates that it has not undergone a filtration process that might remove natural congeners, oils, and esters, resulting in a fuller mouthfeel and potentially richer flavor.
