Texas whiskey is built on craft, collaboration, and community — and that community extends far beyond the walls of our distilleries. While our distillers are the hands shaping every barrel and bottle, it’s our associate members who provide the essential tools, expertise, and platforms that allow the Texas Whiskey movement to thrive. From grain to glass — and all the storytelling, education, and celebration in between — these partners are the quiet force holding up the industry we all love. Read more…

 

This month’s featured release is pure Texas through and through — bold, distinctive, and built for the season. Texas whiskey has never been bigger, and this bottle proves why.

Garrison Brothers Distillery

Sonora Bourbon

108 proof / 54% ABV
Aged 7yrs aged

Review by Emiliano Guajardo

Nose: Sweet Pecan wood, Cocoa powder, Rose tips, Honeysuckle, citrus zest, vanilla bean, Custard/Creme brulle

Palate: Rose water, Citrus Tea, elevation of Garrisons Chocolate note that evolves into a Chocolate Truffle sauce, Mexican Empanada de Calebaza (pumpkin), Concha (Mexican sweet bread)

Finish: Medium lasting finish, Sweet Tobacco, Mixed Berry reduction, Sweet Tea, and Sweet Red wine.

Final Notes: Garrisons Brothers most elevated release yet. Worth every dime. A complex and beautiful example of what Garrison can do within their own walls and bringing Texas flavor to the whiskey drinkers palate. Takes just as long to make as a well smoked Texas BBQ, and hugs the palate with the equal amounts of love.

Caleb is the kind of whiskey lover who turned curiosity into community. A facilities manager by day and Texas whiskey storyteller by night, he first picked up the glass just to see what all the hubbub was about. That spark turned into fascination when he discovered the old-world techniques behind whiskey-making - oak barrels, patience, and craft. From his first sip of Lagavulin 16 to road trips across Texas in search of bold and funky drams, his journey has been equal parts exploration and connection. Through his website Texas Whiskey Geek and social channels, Caleb blends education with humor, helping people discover the distilleries in their own backyard. For him, Texas whiskey reflects the Lone Star spirit - friendly, independent, and impossible to ignore.
