The second release of Lady Bird begins with the brand's flagship Small Batch Bourbon which is aged in new white American oak for four years. Next, it's infused with Burleson's Texas Wildflower Honey for 8-9 months before the bourbon is transferred to French oak Cognac XO barrels for 3 more years. The bourbon is named for Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady from 1962-1969. Like the previous edition, Garrison Brothers will be donating $5 for each bottle sold to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in her honor. Garrison Brothers Lady Bird will launch 1,000 bottles at the distillery on May 11, 2024 before a nationwide launch in mid-May 2024 of the remaining 6,002 bottles. (SRP $179.99)

Nose: Toasted almonds, honey Palate: Spicy up front fading into rich caramel and oak Finish: Honey through the end with a maltiness reminding me of a Bit O’ Honey Candy *Really good offering from GB. The nose captivated me from the get go but recommend letting this one sit in the glass for a bit before sipping. It really helped open everything up.
Nose: Honey, Buttermild Pancake w/blueberry syrup and white chocolate shavings 8.9 Palate: Honey glazed cornbread, cinnamon bun w/mixed berry reduction, butter pecan icecream w/hershey syrup 9.5 Finish: Medium, fig and deep blueberry jam, pecan pie. 9.1 9.17/10
It takes a while to open up in the glass, ~10-15 min, but once it does, you are greeted with intense honey and sweet flavors. —this was the neck pour, I expect great things as it developes based on its profile development in the glass—
Garrison Bros flavor with a punch of honey quickly. Amazing warm throat feel with no spice burn.
Nice and tasty, much better than last years!
Honey, oak, cognac barrel, caramel.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
