Product Description:

Garrison Brothers Sonora Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Finished in Rye Barrels

Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bold Texas bourbon meets the spice and structure of rye in this strikingly original release from Garrison Brothers. Sonora is a boundary pushing expression that begins as fully matured Texas straight bourbon and is then finished in rye whiskey barrels, adding depth, spice, and a new dimension to Garrison Brothers’ unmistakable house character.

Distilled and aged entirely in Texas, Sonora reflects the intense climate and hands on craftsmanship Garrison Brothers is known for, with the rye barrel finish sharpening the edges and amplifying complexity without overpowering the bourbon’s rich core.

Tasting Notes:

The nose opens with dark caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla bean, followed by rye spice, cinnamon stick, and hints of orange peel. On the palate, Sonora delivers bold Texas sweetness up front with brown sugar, baked apple, and butterscotch, quickly joined by cracked black pepper, clove, and baking spice from the rye finish. The finish is long, warming, and layered, balancing sweet oak and lingering rye spice with a dry, elegant close.

Recommended Serve:

Best enjoyed neat to appreciate the interplay between bourbon richness and rye spice. A few drops of water reveal additional notes of citrus zest and honey.

For a refined cocktail, Sonora shines in a bold Old Fashioned or a rye forward Manhattan variation.

Food Pairing:

Excellent alongside smoked brisket, grilled steak, charred vegetables, or dark chocolate desserts with spice.

Texas Grit Meets Rye Precision.

Garrison Brothers Sonora is a compelling expression for bourbon drinkers looking to explore something familiar yet distinctly different. Powerful, balanced, and unmistakably Texan, this is a bottle that rewards slow sipping and thoughtful pours.
