Garrison Brothers Donnis Todd and Sip Whisky Hazmat Bonanza #5 Single Barrel Cask Strength Texas Straight Bourbon Proof 143.6 Barrel #14689 750 ml

This is a single-barrel Garrison Brothers Texas straight bourbon bottled at 143.6 proof from barrel number 14689, a hazmat pick, meaning it is too high in alcohol to travel on a commercial flight. Garrison Brothers matures everything in Hye, Texas, where Hill Country heat pushes spirit in and out of new charred oak far more aggressively than a cooler climate does, and at this strength every bit of that shows. The nose is dark cherry, brown sugar and hot oak; the palate is thick with fig, molasses and char; the finish runs long, leathery and peppery. Water is not optional here. Build it up slowly, a few drops at a time.
