Shop Bourbon is proud to partner with our friends at Garrison Brothers Distillery to bring you this fantastic single-barrel Texas Bourbon! From cooking to bottling, everything is done on site at the Garrison Brothers distillery, or as they call it their “ranch,” in Hye, Texas. Founded by brothers Dan and Charlie Garrison in 2006, Garrison Brothers distillery produces a range of luxury whiskey. In addition to being granted the first stiller’s permit for Bourbon outside of Kentucky, Garrison Brothers is one of the founding members of the Texas Whiskey Association whose aim is “to promote Texas Whiskey, educate consumers and support distilleries that produce whiskey all within the territorial boundaries of the State of Texas” reads the TXWA’s website.
Aged in barrel barns instead of traditional rick houses, Garrison Brother’s Bourbon is aged for at least three Texas summers which, due to the large temperature fluctuations, allows for a lot of barrel extraction.
Barrel #13208 was distilled & barreled in October of 2018 and was bottled for us here at Shop Bourbon in late 2022 or early 2023 at a cask strength of 130.3 proof! This Bourbon has wonderful aromas of baking spices, and fresh chocolate chip cookies. As well as nice and toasty notes of oak, chestnut, and vanilla. Sipping this Bourbon gives off flavours of charred oak, licorice root, stewed stone fruits, and a hint of toasted vanilla.
A great sipper, or if you so desire you can pull a Dan Garrison and put some of this in your Sweet Tea!
