Lady Bird is a cask-strength edition of Garrison Brothers' popular honey-infused whiskey, Honeydew, which is then finished in cognac barrels. The whiskey is aged for four to five years in new oak barrels, infused with honey for eight to nine months and then finished in cognac barrels for a lengthy period of three years. Lady Bird is named for former First Lady Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson. Garrison Brothers donates $5 from every bottle sold to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which is dedicated to preserving the native plants of North America.

  • If you can hold out for cooler weather, this will work wonders by the fireside — though it’s sipping just fine now in the height of summer, too.

  • I can’t say I’m as big of a fan of this as other Garrison bottlings, though I appreciate the environmental tie-in.

  • This is absolutely delicious. The high proof and cognac finish enhance the hell out of the usual Honeydew, which is plenty pleasant already.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Honey and usual Garrison Brothers funk intertwine beautifully. White pepper, blackberry, cherry, shortcake and plenty of cognac character.

  • Taste:

    Loads of blackberry and cherry are quickly followed by Garrison distillate, marshmallow and a nice blast of honey.

  • Finish:

    Loads of honey on the finish, along with char and black pepper.

  • Overall:

    This is absolutely delicious. The high proof and cognac finish enhance the hell out of the usual Honeydew, which is plenty pleasant already.
