Garrison Brothers Bourbon
Texas bourbon, aged hard by Hill Country heat.
The story behind Garrison Brothers
Garrison Brothers was founded in 2006 by Dan and Nancy Garrison in Hye, Texas, and it holds a real distinction: the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas, and the first outside Kentucky and Tennessee. Everything happens on their 68 acre ranch, from milling and cooking to hand bottling and wax dipping.
The mash bill is local: 74% Texas food grade white corn, 15% Texas red winter wheat, 11% malted barley, proofed with Hill Country rainwater. Barrels sit in steel barns that top 90 degrees nine months a year, and evaporation can reach 40%. That heat pulls dark oak, molasses and leather into the spirit fast.
