Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A bold Texas original expertly twice-barreled for depth and complexity. First aged four years in new American white oak barrels, then transferred to a second new barrel for an additional year, this expression emerges as “bourbon candy in a bottle.” Bottled at 115 proof (57.5 % ABV), Balmorhea is an award-winning bourbon that masterfully blends Texas heat and oak
Tasting Notes
Nose
Smoky caramel and rich toffee lead the way, underpinned by baking spices and a hint of dark chocolate.
Palate
Decadently candy-like: frozen fudgesicle bars, amaretto coffee, sticky buns, and pecan brittle meld with thick white chocolate syrup.
Finish
Long and indulgent maple candy, warm caramel, and comforting baking spices linger gracefully.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat Let each layered note reveal itself slowly and fully.
- With Ice – Adds clarity and brings a honeyed softness to the bold proof.
-
Signature Cocktail: Highland Honey Old Fashioned
- 2 oz Balmorhea
- ½ tsp honey syrup
-
2 dashes aromatic bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass. Garnish with a flamed orange twist for a hint of citrus brilliance.
Why This Bourbon Stands Out
A double-barreled bold beauty, Balmorhea is born of extreme Texas heat and expert barrel selection. Its rich, candy-sweet profile, elevated by oak-driven complexity, caught the eye of critics earning acclaim like US Micro Whisky of the Year and San Francisco Double Gold. It’s a confident, luxurious Bourbon for collectors and conversation starters alike.
