OK technically this not bourbon because this was the spirit that came off the still at 140 proof and before it went into an oak cask. This spirit is not sold but offered as part of Garrison Bros distillery tours and unlike some commercially available white dog and new make spirits it is not diluted with water. No surprise the nose has lots of alcohol, corn, and a baked doughy note. Taste is of course hot, but some more subtle spearmint and herbal notes are detectable. Should Dan Garrison start bottling and selling his white dog spirit? No and in his defense he has no intention of doing that either. Should he put it an oak cask and sell it as Texas bourbon? Hell yes, and he has every intention of doing that.
