Last nite I did some comparison drinking


John J Bowman Single Barrel,a product of Virginia,$51

Garrison Brothers Texas Bourbon,obviously a Texas product,$80


First off this is my 2nd bottle of Garrison Brothers.On that note I am going to call their quality control into question here.The first bottle was magnificent.....some very tasty and unique whiskey.This current bottle I received as a gift is missing all the things that made the first bottle so great.I still get that unique earthy flavor they both possess but the creamy marshmallow caramel sweetness that made me fall in love is not present.I'd read about some inconsistencies in other reviews I just had my doubts.....No more.I will not be purchasing anymore and I will remove this from my gift list my wife keeps.

On a much better note John J. Bowman single barrel is the real deal.Note this is a SINGLE BARREL and will be slightly different lot to lot.They do not list the barrel and bottle number.....some do some don't,*shrug*.On the nose very pleasing...sweet buttered corn,vanilla and cinnamon.On the palette even more to celebrate.....Apple pie(not that watered down overly sweetened crap people **** up good moonshine with....the actual flavor of a fresh baked apple pie),cinnamon,orange and rye bread.The finish is long and warm......citrus and cinnamon.This may just be the best whisky I have ever had.I do intend to get back there,only store I've ever found it in,in a couple weeks and buy them out.They had 4 bottles left and if they are still there I intend to own all of them.I'd like to keep a half a case on hand for special occasions cause this be some damn good stuff.

Ya ya. Can you pour yourself a DW12 and a DW17, then do your review. ?? Pleeeaaase.

Over the weekend I was hitting a bottle of Bulliet 10.The regular Bulliet I liked but threw it in the category of "good starter whiskey,makes a great mixer".It reminded me of Makers Mark......one dimensional but drinkable,just nothing to write home about.Well Bulliet 10 is a whole other story.......I guess this is really where Bulliet shines.Lots of caramel,vanilla,peach with a bit of oak.It just pours over your tongue like a fine maple syrup with just enough burn to remind you that this is WHISKEY.The finish is citrussy and quite long......I got a lot of tangerine and mango.


Bulliet 10 has found a home.........IN MY BELLY.
