Garrison Brothers Distillery, nestled in the Texas Hill Country of Hye, Texas, has long been celebrated for producing some of the most expressive and bold American straight bourbons. The Laguna Madre expression is a testament to the distillery's adventurous spirit — a limited release that draws its name from the hypersaline lagoon along the Texas Gulf Coast, where the barrels were aged in the salty coastal air, imparting a uniquely Texan terroir to every drop.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich caramel and toasted oak open with a coastal breeze of sea salt, followed by dried fruit, vanilla bean, and a hint of dark chocolate.
Palate: Bold and full-bodied with waves of butterscotch, baking spice, and salted caramel. The coastal influence adds a subtle briny minerality that sets it apart from traditional bourbons.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering oak tannins, a touch of espresso, and a gentle salted caramel fade.
