Garrison Brothers Honey Dew Bourbon (750 ml)

Description

Several well-known brands have released honey-infused whiskies, but none have made it the way our Master Distiller Donnis Todd has: transforming used bourbon barrels into small, wooden cubes that were immersed in Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey. When the cubes had absorbed the honey (an infusion done in part through a patented technique) they were placed into the belly of a stainless steel tank, letting the bourbon soak in those delicious honey flavors every single day for seven months.

The project is 11 years in the making and a departure from previous releases. Nancy Garrison, wife and business partner of proprietor Dan Garrison, wanted the distillery to produce a honey-sweetened bourbon whiskey sincethey started the business together in 2006. Dan strongly objected due to his disdain for “flavored whiskies,” hence the name “HoneyDew,” as a play on words. Garrison’s dislike of flavored whiskies is due to the fact that many of them are gooey, sticky concoctions often made with chemicals like propylene glycol.

But HoneyDew is different. It’s made the Garrison Brothers way using our award  winning Small Batch Texas Straight Bourbon, gently infused with delicious, golden wildflower honey.

Tasting Notes: Sweet elderberry syrup. Yellow-flesh peaches, apricots, white chocolate. Delicious, golden Texas honey.
