Emmanuel Galvan's Cafe Bolita focuses on elevating the tortilla using artisan corn masa made from heirloom corn varietals.
Crafted by Heather Greene (master blender) and Marlene Holmes (master distiller), Provisions ($35) undergoes the brand's "Texification" process, where bourbon barrels from Kentucky are brought to Texas for additional aging in the heat. There's a definite nuttiness on the nose (which to me usually suggests something that needs a bit more aging), but on the palate this is a crowd-pleasing bourbon, full of vanilla, caramel, oak spice and baking spices. It's certainly worthy of our 80-proof whiskey guide.
