🐝 Garrison Brothers HoneyDew Cask Strength — Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Short History
Garrison Brothers has long embraced Texas terroir, crafting bold bourbons shaped by intense heat, wide-open ranchland, and obsessive detail. HoneyDew began as their innovative “liquid gold” project — a bourbon finished in barrels infused with Texas wildflower honey. This Single Barrel Cask Strength edition takes the beloved HoneyDew concept and amplifies it: raw, undiluted, deeply expressive, and layered with natural sweetness drawn straight from the barrel.

Tasting Notes
Nose
A swirl of warm honeycomb, caramelized sugar, buttered cornbread, toasted oak, and floral wildflower character.
Palate
Bold and full-throttle. Expect deep oak, dark toffee, spiced honey, vanilla custard, roasted nuts, and hints of orange blossom. The cask-strength heat is powerful but beautifully complemented by the natural sweetness of the honey finish.
Finish
Long, warming, and layered. Notes of honey-drizzled pastry, charred oak, and lingering spice fade gradually and luxuriously.
Serving Suggestions
-
A single ice sphere softens the heat and expands the honey aromatics.
-
A splash of water reveals more floral notes and a silky sweetness.
-
An extraordinary dessert pairing bourbon — especially with pecan pie, crème brûlée, or anything caramel-forward.
