The relentless Texas heat is brutal. Out here, it’s 100 degrees nine months out of the year; hotter inside a steel barn. It might seem crazy to buy the highest quality barrels and torture them in this heat, but doing so allows our bourbon to suck all the flavor it can from our new American oak barrels. As it matures, the bourbon cycles through the wood’s pores and crevices, soaking in the sugars from the sap, and yielding an aroma brimming of butterscotch, nutmeg, and vanilla. Notes of fruit dominate the palate, with hints of butter, whipped cream, angel food cake and oak. The finish is smooth, with chocolate and espresso notes. A true tour de force of flavor.

Small Batch Bourbon is the flagship of Legendary Texas Bourbon, handcrafted with a sweet mash bill of #1 food-grade corn, wheat, and barley.

Garrison Brothers Small Batch Bourbon presents a deep golden amber color and an inviting nose of golden delicious apple slices drizzled with honey, complemented by sweet floral verbena, fresh-cut grass, saddle leather, and a hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it opens with bright, tart notes of orange hard candy and lemon gumdrops, followed by softer, dessert-like flavors of yellow pound cake, sugar cookies, and smoky baking spices, all wrapped in delicate honeysuckle. The finish is long and complex, beginning with smoky tobacco and evolving into the nostalgic sweetness of a county fair caramel apple, dusted with walnuts and cinnamon.
