The 15 Best Whiskeys From Texas to Try in 2022
3. Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon
Check Price
Being the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas, Garrison Brothers are by far the best and only use 100% food-grade Texas corn. This completely uncut and unfiltered bourbon is personally selected by Donnis Todd.
All the whiskey bottles are further numbered by hand and signed by the master distiller himself. With a quick sniff, you will recognize sour mash and sweet pipe tobacco, and it has a taste of toffee, vanilla, and cherry.
This 135-proof straight from the barrel limited edition spirit is certainly not for casual drinking or the faint-hearted. While the cost is slightly on the higher end, savor it if you manage to get your hands on one, as they sell out quickly.
4. Ironroot Harbinger Whiskey
Check Price
The flagship bourbon of Ironroot Republic is a must-buy for a whiskey that is less than three years old. It is rich and smooth with its nose of maple syrup, orange marmalade, and mixed red fruits. The grains are distilled in the orthodox Scottish-style pot still using French Brandy making techniques to deliver a compelling aroma and palate.
The taste is a rich caramel sweetness alongside dried red fruits and baking spices, achieved by aging the spirit in American and European virgin oak casks. While it has a bitter and quick finish for a 115-proof, the bourbon will surely be an immediate favorite for many. The distillery has come a long way through the years and winning the World’s Best Bourbon in 2020 has only skyrocketed the fame of this Texas-style whiskey.
5. Saint Liberty Bertie’s Bear Gulch Straight Bourbon
Check Price
The Saint Liberty distillery has a rich history, and they sure do live up to it. Packaged in a round-shouldered design inspired by the antique bottles from the early 1900s, the bourbon has a sweet nose with stone fruit and candied orange.
