I've heard good things about both the Rowan's Creek and Noah's Mill but tried neither.They just haven't showed up in my neck of the woods yet.
I've been comparing bourbons for about 2 months,wifey's getting pissed I ran out of cabinet right away.I've got a couple more bottles to find then I'm going to put up pics and give my opinions,for whatever that's worth.I also have almost all Tennessee whisky offered with the exception of that Jack crap........ I may just have to buy what they consider their best just to make this comparison fair.
I've done all the Texas bourbons and whisky's with the exception of the newest stuff out.IMHO if you like a whiskey with lots of corn on the nose along with some unidentifiable fruit,butterscotch and vanilla on the tongue and a looooooooong fig like finish you must try Garrison Brothers Texas bourbon.This bourbon is only aged 2 years but it's aged in hot and humid South Texas in small charred oak barrels and commands an $80 price tag.
If you like high rye Ranger Creek .36 Texas Bourbon is another outstanding whisky.On the nose cinnamon,cloves and a little vanilla.On the palette vanilla,caramel and oak........lots of oak.The finish is good kind of like the red hots you ate as a child......but it's short.Again this whisky is young,aged only 9 months in 5 gallon oak barrels in South Texas.Not sure if I got a good deal.....I found this in one store in San Angelo,a .375 bottle for $42.Yep pricy but uniquely good.
