Garrison Brothers Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Finished Cask Strength Bourbon Reviews
Garrison Brothers sent me two eight-year sherry-finished cask strength bourbons ahead of their October 17 release. The 136-proof Oloroso is dark, rich, and almost syrupy.

Milam & Greene Unabridged Vol. 5 blends seven bourbon components from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas at 121.7 proof. Here’s how this complex cask-strength release tastes—and whether it is worth $94.99.
