Coincidence brought me face to face with this very small batch bourbon. Soon after moving to Houston, I stumbled upon a bottle of bourbon named after the the city’s namesake. The distiller also bottles Jefferson’s Reserve and carries a handwritten label. Good start, and an even better finish. Although 90 proof, the initial nose is not overpowering. A dash of water brings out an excellent palate – sweet, but not sugary or fruity – the sweetness only found when aged by an expert. The finish only accents those flavors and leaves you wanting more. Being hand crafted, I highly doubt you will come across a bottle belonging to the same batch. However, I would bet the attention each bottle receives will reward you as well as it did me. I intend to find out soon for myself. Treat yourself and I’m sure you’ll agree, Sam Houston should always be stocked in your private collection. Price: $25 Rating: clariti91

This is a fantastic Bourbon! I just got a botte for my collection and I’m thinking I should have bought a couple more as back ups. Nice Review!
My home computer was taken over as a result of pop ups fortunately I stumbled upon this important advise on how to stop pop ups. I suggest it for people battling from unwelcome pop up ads.
One of my favorite bourbons after 14 years of living in Kentucky. One that I truly enjoy sipping neat. Incredible spice and sweetness complexity, without a sugary taste.
This bourbon is an excellent liquor. The sent is of aged leather and oak while the taste is of vanilla and charred wood. As compared to other higher proof bourbons this one has a smooth finish and little burn to it, but enough to warm your stomach.
