Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this bourbon different from regular Garrison Brothers?
This Ranch Reserve expression is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, which adds layers of dark fruit sweetness, dried fruit complexity, and dessert-like notes that complement the base bourbon's caramel and oak character. The 109 proof also delivers more intensity than their standard expressions.
How should I drink this high-proof bourbon?
At 109 proof, this bourbon can be enjoyed neat for the full experience, or with a few drops of water to open up the sherry notes. The rich flavor profile also makes excellent Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, though many prefer to savor it slowly without mixers.
Is this a good value compared to other sherry-finished bourbons?
While premium-priced, this offers excellent value considering the craft distillery quality, unique Texas terroir, and labor-intensive sherry cask finishing process. It competes favorably with similar expressions from established Kentucky distilleries at comparable price points.
How does Texas bourbon compare to Kentucky bourbon?
Texas bourbons like this benefit from the intense Hill Country heat, which accelerates aging and creates more concentrated flavors. The climate produces bolder, more robust character compared to traditional Kentucky bourbons, with distinctive caramel and oak intensity.
What's the difference between PX sherry and other sherry types?
Pedro Ximénez sherry is made from sun-dried grapes, creating an intensely sweet, dark, viscous wine with notes of raisin, fig, and molasses. This sweetness and fruit character transfers beautifully to bourbon during finishing, unlike drier sherry types that add more nutty, savory notes.
