Doc Brown brings bourbon cheer to Texas

Posted on December 7, 2023January 8, 2024 by Doc Brown

It’s true. We are proud Georgia farmers. But the warm welcome our products have received in Texas is something we can’t ignore. Bourbon lovers all over the state have rolled out the red carpet to us so we’re hooking up with some leading Texas retailers to meet their customers and give them a taste of our Bourbon Cream liqueurs.

Between Christmas and New Year, when the festive season is in full swing, you’ll be able to meet us at three locations.

On December 28th, roll by Bear Creek Spirits and Wine on Colleyville Boulevard in Colleyville between 4 and 7pm to sample our Butter Pecan, Coffee, Peppermint Mocha and Salted Caramel Bourbon Creams.

Then, on December 29th we’ll be at Longhorn Cheers Liquor, Beer & Wine on Longhorn Road in Fort Worth from 5 to 8pm. The next day, December 30th, you can meet us at Longhorn Cheers on Boat Club Road, also in Fort Worth, 4 to 7pm. Try our Bourbon Creams and tell us what you think!

Meet Doc Brown at Double D Ranch

Our second visit to Texas in January takes place over the 12^th and 13^th – and y’all we are already hollerin’, “Yee-haw!”

Doc Brown Farm & Distillers will joining Double D Ranch outfitters for a trunk show at their Stockyards location in Fort Worth. With our High Heels & Cornfields motto, teaming up with a premium cowgirl-inspired fashion retailer is a perfect match. Nothing complements beautiful Wild West threads better than a glass of delicious Bourbon Cream liqueur.

This event coincides with the opening of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo – so we know a lot of people from Texas and from across the country will be in town. Stop by and say, “Howdee!” if you can.

More than just a tasting

While we’re proud of the liquor we make, to us these events aren’t just about selling. First and foremost, we’re farmers. We grow the grain, grind it and turn it into fine spirits, which we love to share. Not only can you taste our products, but you’ll find out more about who we are and how we raise our crops in tune with nature.

No matter where you’re from, we look forward to meeting you, and maybe you’ll take your favorite bottles home with you.

Our Effie Jewel Bourbon and Bourbon Cream Liqueurs are available in a growing number of outlets in Georgia and Texas, and can also be purchased in the Buy & Ship Spirits section of our website.

Stop the press, y’all! We’re proud to say that on November 30^th 2023, Doc Brown Farm & Distillers received extensive coverage in The Newnan Times-Herald right here in Georgia. We’re blown away by their thorough, in-depth article.

In her feature, Shannon Poteet provides a full overview of how we got started, our cherished beliefs and what we’re doing down here on the farm with our Jimmy Red Corn.

As the piece points out, it started as a happy accident and now we’re a Georgia business on a mission. One day Daniel said, “Mom, why don’t you grow corn on y’all’s farm? We can distill it and make some family bourbon?” So we took the plunge.

Our sustainable, traditional approach to farming; seed-to-still distilling; our roots on the land; our High Heels and Cornfields motto. Shannon has captured it all in wonderfully concise prose and she’s also mentioned our recent awards.

You can read the full article by clicking here.

Huge gratitude to Shannon and the editorial team down Highway 16 at The Times-Herald. It’s an honor to appear in this esteemed and long-running publication, which is also our local newspaper.

Bourbon Cream wins big with Garden & Gun

Posted on December 6, 2023 by Doc Brown

We are over the moon. We couldn’t have dreamed it. Not only does our Bourbon Cream Liqueur appear in the December 2023 to January 2024 issue of Garden & Gun magazine, but we’ve won an award!

In the Drink category of Garden & Gun’s 2023 Made in the South Awards, Butter Pecan Bourbon Cream Liqueur by Doc Brown Farm & Distillers was named a runner-up. Along with the award, the magazine wrote a piece that describes how we work the farm, grow our heirloom Jimmy Red Corn, distill the grain and extract the deep natural flavors that make our Bourbon Cream a winner.

It’s almost unprecedented for a start-up like ours to win an award like this in the first year after releasing a spirit. For many, getting it right can take up to a decade and there is so much competition.

This is amazing news for us and we are so grateful to the Garden & Gun editorial team and judges – not to mention all our customers out there who have put our little farm and distillery on the map. THANK YOU!

Read about it on the Garden & Gun website.

DBF in the Media: Bourbon Cream’s beautiful labels

Posted on December 6, 2023December 6, 2023 by Doc Brown

Something people always comment on is the quality of our bottle and label design, and our Bourbon Cream Liqueurs have been receiving recognition for this around the world.

All our branding and graphics are created by Ginger Monkey Design, run by Tom Lane. The smoothly flowing, handcrafted lettering Tom drew for the Bourbon Cream label not only catches the eye, but it captures the essence of the product. Sweet, elegant and delectable!

There’s a whole lot more going on too, using imagery and words to convey what the product is and what we value as farmers and distillers.

The design work that went into our packaging has been featured by both spirits industry and graphic design outlets. These include:

The Craft Spirits magazine website – run by the American Craft Spirits Association.

BevNet – a leading publication that covers the drinks industry globally.

Packaging of the World – a website that highlights the best packaging design projects from around the world.

Salted Caramel Bourbon Cream – perfect for the holidays!

Posted on November 16, 2023 by Doc Brown

Now the nights are drawing in, Doc Brown Farm & Distillers brings you some sweet Georgia cheer in a bottle.

Our brand-new Salted Caramel will be the perfect aperitif for Thanksgiving and waaaayyyy better than a cookie for Santa at Christmas. Made with farm fresh dairy cream, it’s creamy without being too heavy, has that ooey gooey caramel sweetness, a dash of salt to release that creamy sweetness, plus the fire-side warmth of Doc Brown’s bourbon.

Nothing is quite as satisfying as a good liqueur on a fall or winter evening, and Salted Caramel Bourbon Cream is perfect over ice, or stirred into a hot beverage.

Your favorite ice cream in a glass

People who’ve tasted Salted Caramel Bourbon Cream have described it as ‘so good!’ and ‘like your favorite ice cream in a glass!’ We won’t argue with those descriptions, but we do invite you to see for yourself. Let us know what you think.

This is the fourth Bourbon Cream flavor we’ve released, and it will sit alongside Butter Pecan, Coffee and Peppermint Mocha on the shelf. It sells for $34.99 a bottle, at 39 Proof (19.5% ABV).

Our first three Bourbon Creams sold out when we first released them, and we think Salted Caramel is so good that soon it will be in short supply as well. You can order a bottle today in the Buy & Ship Spirits section of our website.
