From the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Garrison Brothers HoneyDew Bourbon is a testament to Southern ingenuity and sweet craftsmanship. As the first Texas distillery to produce bourbon legally, Garrison Brothers has a reputation for innovation—and HoneyDew is a bold new chapter. Infused with Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey, this small-batch expression begins as their award-winning Small Batch Bourbon and is then mellowed through a unique honey filtration process. The result is a rich, naturally sweet bourbon with authentic Texas soul. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
