Overall: I like this a lot! Reminds me of Widow Jane Decadence but at a higher proof - maple and heat punching back and forth deliciously. Oily, silky even with the heat, with a smoked honey note on the back end.įinish: Mouthwatering, tons of maple candy, Runts and Nerds, maple everywhere.
Mouthfeel is rich and sweet after the fire subsides, but the burn is delicious.
Caramelized banana, deep dark stewed fruits with crystallizing maple sugar. This packs a punch! There’s that Ricola note again followed by bourbon candy, maple sugar, brown sugar caramelizing - it’s mouthwatering. Palate: Tip of the tongue….nope, whole tongue-on-fire burn. With air the richness wins, ushering in maple. There’s a light and rich duel going on too.

Nose: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof profile (tons of heat, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar) plus the Garrison Brothers whiskey profile I’m getting on each pour - interesting and really enjoyable! Bourbon powerhouse plus menthol and honey. The only problem with this bottle can be the price tag of $80, which can push off some customers.Eye: Red-tinged mahogany - gorgeous. It doesn't overpower you with honey, nor the bourbon. The balance of the infusion is the key to my liking. I am almost at half of the bottle now and some of my guests became fans of the HoneyDew. This bottle was released in 2020 being one of 27372 bottles. In this bottle food grain #1 white corn from South Texas was used and distillation and barreling happened in 2016. When we look at the side of the bottle we can actually find more information. The balance is like a low peak sinus wave where you can feel the dark honey and then the bourbon you know from Garrison Brothers. HoneyDew has a very well-balanced infusion. The finish is fresh and long with flowers, Sultana grapes, toasted bread, white peppers and a touch of white chocolate. Caramel notes emerge with wood tannins, black peppers, apricot-like stone fruit and cardamom. The palate is not really thick but creamy. Then, dark honey, elderberry and resin show up. Honey stays out of the game for some time. The nose starts with a cinnamon burst followed with toasted oak, smoke and shaved oak flavors. That honey-infused whiskey memory of mine I discussed above tried to fail me over and over again but Garrison Brothers HoneyDew managed to overcome that. Simply put, Balmorhea is bourbon candy in a bottle. These men formed an irrigation company in the area in the early 20th century. The name comes from four men’s surnames: E.D. That is actually why this article took so long to write as I didn't believe my palate and tasted it again and again and again. This Balmorhea expression is named after a local swimming hole 40 miles south of Pecos, Texas. This magnificent Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bold but majestically-crafted, having been aged four years in new American. 5 for the sale of each bottle goes towards renovating the spring-fed pool situated nearly 40 miles south of Pecos, Texas. Sometimes, I love to admit that I am wrong. Balmorhea is the latest release from Garrison Brothers, named after an iconic West Texas park. Garrison Brothers HoneyDew How Does It Taste? For seven long Texas months, the bourbon soaks honey flavors! These cubes were later placed in a stainless steel tank. The Master Distiller Dennis Todd transformed used bourbon barrels into small, wooden cubes that were immersed in honey. They infuse Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey with their Garrison Brothers Small Batch Texas Straight Bourbon. It also looks very important for Garrison Brothers as they apparently put a good effort into making this bottle. It is a pretty important part of my nutrition. I was very skeptical when Garrison Brothers sent me a bottle of HoneyDewĭon't get me wrong, I love honey and I do have some kind of honey every morning at breakfast. It was so intense that, I tried to stay away from honey-flavored or honey-infused spirits since then. We had a great celebration at my place and one of the drinks was a honey-flavored whiskey, which didn't stay in the bottle and its smell was everywhere in the apartment the next morning. I have to go back a decade back to a birthday celebration I had with friends.
