Garrison Brothers Whiskey

Garrison Brothers Whiskey – Cowboy Bourbon isn’t available all the time — it comes out every few years. They take the top handful of barrels of their Texas Straight Bourbon made from 100% Panhandle yellow-dent corn and then give it a little extra time in the wood. Then they bottle it up with no filtration, no cutting to proof with water, no blending… they just tip the barrel over and pour it into bottles. Forged in the Texas heat, this liquid Texas treasure is as dark and rich as molasses. Jim Murray of “The Whiskey Bible” fame called it “American Whiskey of the Year” in 2014 AND 2017. This year (2019), there are only 4,725 bottles available at 68.5% ABV. ”

We love all the hard-toiled, passionate, craft distillers of the world. But the Garrison Brothers stand out in that crowd a bit taller than most. You see, they don’t farm out anything. Every step from cooking the mash to bottling happens right there on-site at their distillery in Hye, Texas. They make Bourbon in a range of ages and finishes, but it all started with the famous “barrel #6” that yielded their signature Texas Bourbon Whiskey.

Garrison Brothers whiskey Distillery is a distillery in Hye, Texas. The distillery produces Texas Straight Bourbon, as well as some experimental variants. In 2006, the distillery was granted the first stiller’s permit for bourbon outside of Kentucky and Tennessee, which makes it the oldest legal bourbon distillery in Texas. Garrison Brothers Distillery did not originally plan on ever selling outside the state of Texas, but it is sold in 42 states as of November 2021.

Garrison Brother’s flagship “Cowboy Bourbon” consists of a few thousand barrel-proof bottles released each year. The first batch was released in 2013, and a new batch has been released each year since 2015.

Distributor Allied Lomar Inc., who once sold a bourbon by the name “Cowboy Little Barrel”, brought a trademark suit against the distillery due to its use of a similar product name. On July 18, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed an earlier jury verdict that allowed Garrison Brothers to use the name “Cowboy Bourbon” for Garrison’s flagship product, ruling that the earlier trademark had been abandoned.

In 2018, Garrison Brothers started a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called “Good Bourbon for a Good Cause” to raise money for to renovate Balmorhea State Park. Garrison Brothers whiskey also produced a double-barrel bourbon whiskey named after Balmorhea, which Texas Monthly described as having sweet and silky tasting notes.

test is really nice but bit expensive.
Simone – May 17, 2022

I love this and so when I tried this I am now torn because this flavour is delicious.
I drink it with cloudy lemonade and ice.
Dyanna – May 17, 2022

Was hesitant at first especially with the price of it but it far exceeded my expectations. Could drink it straight which is a rarity for me and there was a distinctive lack of hand sanitizer aftertaste seen with other vodka. Would highly recommend to others and is really nice when mixed with tropical fruit juices.

Really nice. Tastes like Holiday
Harriott – May 18, 2022

One of my favourite flavours from them finished it in less than a hour, alcoholic??? Maybe.
Angelle – May 18, 2022

This has to be one of my favourites
It is a little sweeter than I thought it would be but paired with ice and a splash of tonic water is perfect!
Celesta – May 18, 2022

The most beautiful alcohol bottle i have ever seen and amazing value for money considering it is limited stock and hard to source – thank you i will enjoy this over the weekend!

Short Story

Situated on a rolling ranch in Texas Hill Country, Garrison Brothers whiskey Distillery was founded in 2005. The distillery is the oldest legal whiskey distillery in Texas. “Like everything in the Lone Star State, our dreams were big from the start,” says Dan Garrison, the distillery’s owner. “We didn’t want to make just any bourbon, we wanted to make the best bourbon ever made.”

Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from organic corn, wheat and barley. “We get about 30,000 pounds of corn, wheat and barley delivered a month,” says Garrison. “The wheat comes from our own fields — we have 65 acres of wheat on the other side of the property.”In addition, the corn is harvested from local fields in Texas while the barley is sourced from the Pacific Northwest.

Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being fermented for four days. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled through an antique, copper pot still nicknamed the copper cowgirl. “She was made as an experimental still,” says Garrison, “for Wild Turkey Distillery.” After the bourbon has been distilled, it is aged in charred, American oak barrels. “The char softens the wood, and allows the bourbon to expand into the wood. When it gets hot — and it gets hot out here in Texas — that bourbon will soak deep into the wood and extract the chemical compounds that are in there.”

This 2019 Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon clocks in at a high-octane 137.7 proof. It is drawn from the distillery team’s favorite barrels, which were set aside for a couple of years for further maturation. The liquid is bottled at cask-strength, uncut and unfiltered. Each barrel used in this 2019 release was aged up to five years.

“It takes a special barrel to create a bourbon nectar sweet enough to be enjoyed at such a high proof, the potency normally overpowers the flavor. That ain’t the case with the Cowboy – it’s so sweet, the flavor overpowers its proof. And you can thank the Texas heat for that” (Garrison Brothers Distillery).
