Ironroot Republic Distilling

5 Locally Distilled Whiskeys Perfect for Last-Minute Holiday Gifting | Eater Dallas

"Right before the pandemic, Whisky declared Ironroot Republic in Denison had produced the best bourbon in the world in 2020; while they occasionally offer single-barrel releases, their primary focus is on the art of blending—using individually produced whiskeys from heirloom corn to create signature bourbons like the award-winning Harbinger. At 115 proof this complex spirit opens with cinnamon, orange marmalade, blackberry, strawberry compote, and brown sugar maple cookies on the nose, and on the palate delivers fresh elote, baking spices, caramel kettle corn, dry charred oak, and magic. Head to Ironroot’s website for ordering details." - Eater
