  • Incredibly flavorful and equally polarizing because of it, Lady Bird will reward those who jive with it.

  • It's deep, dark, rich and sweet, but certainly has enough dark, tannic notes to avoid it becoming overly saccharine.

  • Tasted side by side vs. the 2024 edition, the two whiskeys unsurprisingly share a lot of the same DNA, but the 2025 is clearly burlier and more barrel-forward, with more char and clove notes clinging to the experience.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Deep and rich on the nose. Honey, almonds, leather, tobacco, clove, cinnamon, maple and pepper.

  • Taste:

    Thick, honey-esque viscosity with notes of tobacco, honey, leather, classic Garrison Brothers character and cinnamon.

  • Finish:

    Tannic finish with clove, hazelnut, tobacco and tea.

  • Overall:

    Great batch of Lady Bird! It's deep, dark, rich and sweet, but certainly has enough dark, tannic notes to avoid it becoming overly saccharine. It's splendidly balanced and delicious.
