Garrison Brothers Lady Bird 750ml

Garrison Brothers Lady Bird is a Texas straight bourbon that takes the long way to the bottle. The whiskey spends four to five years in new American oak, then eight to nine months infused with Burleson's Texas wildflower honey, then three more years finishing in French XO cognac casks. The result reads like dessert without drinking sweet — dark chocolate-covered cherries, dried figs, buckwheat pancakes, and honey riding a stout Texas backbone. Lady Bird honors Lady Bird Johnson, and five dollars from every bottle goes to her Wildflower Center in Austin. Each release is a limited annual run that sells through quickly. Pour it after dinner in place of a cognac — it argues both sides.

How to drink Garrison Brothers Lady Bird

Pour it neat, after dinner, in place of a cognac — the honey and dark chocolate-covered cherry notes hold up best without dilution. This is a sipping bourbon built around its three-stage aging, not a mixing bottle.
