Whisky.com reviews the Garrison Brothers Balmorhea 2023. The Garrison Brothers have set themselves the difficult goal of distilling and maturing whiskey in Texas. This is not so easy, as it sometimes gets so hot there in the summer that normal barrels can no longer withstand the environmental influences. So the team had barrels made from extra thick staves and was able to bring the first legal Texas Bourbon onto the market. The Balmorhea spent four years in a fresh white oak barrel before it was transferred to a second fresh white oak barrel and stored for another year.

Nice one, great video!

I’m 30 minutes from Garrison Distillery. Pretty solid tour. It’s settled in/around Fredericksburg, Texas (wine country) where I’m heading right now.

Another Texas distillery that makes very well-balanced bourbons is Still Austin. All their bottlings are quite good and lacking in any notable harshness, even their cask strength whiskies. They use only locally-grown grains too. Highly recommended.

I lived in Dallas-Fort Worth for over a decade…climate wise, imagine normal trees, grass, etc, but turned slightly brown and dry from millennia of evolution. Some of the trees can burn you on contact. Fire ants get everywhere. There are cicadas in the trees, tiny geckos might invade your apartment. You might see buzzards, armadillos or bobcats at the parks. Everything is highways, if you’re used to suburbia, highways really encroach on that feeling. It always feels dry or uncomfortably humid. Winters are nothing, barely an inch of snow if that, and all the already insane, road-ragey Texas drivers lose their minds and go skidding around. 😂
Socially, the area I lived in was a lot of rich white people running things, complaining about the border while relying on the labor of a huge international immigrant community. People move there from all over the world because there’s so much money in the area. Even if you’re at the poverty line like I was, everything is still newer and more expensive than in other cities. There are suburban mega churches with Starbucks in the lobby, 25 foot video screens so all the worshippers can see the preacher, and collections taken away by armored van, surrounded by apartment complexes full of middle class and poor people just trying to make rent.
Oh, and almost no one has a southern accent or dresses like a cowboy, unless you get really deep into the rural country areas.
Yeah, apologies, lotta strong feelings about my years there. 😄
