The Texas Nirvana. 
 
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. 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. 
 
So let’s talk about that famous barrel. Back in 2007 and 2008 the Garrison brothers were experimenting to find the perfect recipe for their Bourbon. In 2008, they popped open barrel #6, took a sip, and instantly knew that they had found Texas Nirvana. 
 
This magic combination is the platform they built their business on. These boys are proud of their accomplishment, and they should be. They recommend that you drink it neat… a splash or a bit of soda water is fine too. But when it comes to colas and fruity mixers they say, “If you're mixing it with something like that, you really shouldn't be buying our Bourbon."

The temperatures of American warehouses are much higher, so the pace of maturation is much quicker for Bourbons than for Scotch Whiskies

Member Reviews and Ratings of Garrison Brothers Texas Bourbon Whiskey
Brian
Brian,
Not a fan of it neat. First sip kind of hits you with a strong spicy peppery flavor. The chew gives you an odd mix of flavor that felt a bit oily in the mouth. Very smooth though. Over ice, the flavors mellow out a bit and is much more enjoyable. On the rocks is the way to go with this one. Price is a little high for what you're getting in my mind. It's good but not $90 a bottle good.

David,
Odd flavor - not for me
 
Brian
Brian,
Really liked this. A great bourbon.
 
Todd
Todd,
Aroma has a bit of sweet along with some wood. Taste is good overall, you get the bourbon sweetness, along with some nice pepper and wood. It's got some kick, seems stronger than the 47% ABV. A dash of water seems to bring the pepper to the front, along with a bitter finish. Probably better neat, overall, pretty good

My second favorite bourbon! Well worth the price. So smooth it’s frightening!

Every bar should have it. Great bourbon with all the flavors of Texas.
 
Sam
Sam,
Buttery smooth caramel orange creamy mouth feel one of the best bourbons I have ever tasted
 
Brittany
Brittany,
Bold, intense flavor and an insanely smooth finish. The aftertaste is totally different from the sip itself. Marvelously complex, quite sweet (which I like), and intricate.
 
William
William,
There's a distinct taste to this whiskey. If you don't like it, it's "waxy." If you do, it's a "thick mouthfeel." It's a more complex whiskey than most, about two steps past a young Buffalo Trace.

Kendra,
Very smooth with wonderful smoky notes

Graham
Graham,
I got a bottle of this for a gift a few years ago, and it was outstanding. One of the most complex bourbons I've ever had. I love the caramel and spice notes.
 
Carl
Carl,
I keep waiting for it to grow on me, I’m still waiting. I have had worse, but for the price I have had many that are far better.
 
Debrenee
Debrenee,
It’s good, but the finish is lacking. If I hadn’t bought this bottle on a mega sale I would be a little disappointed.... Especially for the regular price. However, with that said, it is still a good whiskey. Just not as strong as the regular price would suggest.

Sooooo Good!

Good, but a strong finish that feels a bit incomplete.

Best whiskey ever
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Good small distillery bourbon. Corn is exceptionally strong.
 
Michael
Michael,
Another prime example of an excellent bourbon from a newly epic distillery that is a little easier on the wallet than cowboy. If this was a choice for the desert island question, it would be a lock.
 
Allen
Allen,
Surprisingly smooth for a high proof whiskey. Spicy and sweet. Complex. A little water or ice cube helps.

Nice
 
Russell

Smooth and very good carmel taste. Needs a little more flavor for me.
 
Russ
Russ,
Texas bourbon is as smooth as it gets
 
Scott

Spicy Texas bourbon that finishes like a Rye.
 
Glenn
Glenn,
Bought as a gift, but have had it before. Overpriced Texas whiskey, but hey, it is from Texas. And I am a Texan. Will always have in my locker.
 
Royce
Royce,
This is not a Kentucky bourbon. Not near as smooth as a finish as I would have imagined. In my opinion this is a $35 bottle of bourbon not $90.
 
Steven
Steven,
At first I did not care for it but after a week or so it started to grow on me and now it's one of my favorites.

One of the fantastic Texas bourbons!!
 
Marc
Marc,
Very disappointed in this. Harsh,almost petroleum taste up front, burnt aftertaste. Might be ok to mix, but after trying it neat and on the rocks, I haven't tried to mix it.
 
Reginald
Reginald,
Not Barrel #6 but an nice Bourbon with a young finish
 
Kevin
Kevin,
We have tried around 60 different bourbons so far and Garrison Brothers is by far the worst bourbon that we've ever had. 7 of us agreed upon this. We all thought that it lacked any flavor profile except for acetone. Not sure if we got a bad bottle or something, but wow, I would never suggest anyone spending this kind of money for this. Definitely not worth it. I can name 40 other Bourbons that are half of the price that are far far superior.
 
Gerrit
Gerrit,
I opened this and shared with four friends - all of us felt that something was off and it just didn't taste right. I am usually okay with different style bourbons and like to try new whiskies on a regular basis. I won't go back to this one.
 
Chris
Chris,
A really young tasting bourbon, probably due to the seasons, temperatures, and humidity of Hye, TX: the barrels probably didn't expand and contract like they would have in Kentucky. You can really taste the corn in this.
 
Cris
Cris,
Wow what a great tasting Whiskey. The bottle said aged 3 years, it tastes way smoother than that. This Whiskey has some great flavor notes wit a long finish. Just bought three more bottles. Expensive but worth it!!!!!!!

Fred,
Smooth and delicious

William,
Last year at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, I went to a tasting presented by Garrison Bros. I'm not really a bourbon drinker, I love The Macallan, I was pleasently surprised. They gave us 2015 Spring, Fall, and Cowboy varieties. Cowboy was over 120 proof and too strong, Spring and Fall were quite good. First bourbon I've ever liked.
 
Steven
Steven,
16 Years living in Kentucky, hours of distillary tours with friends and family visiting, hundreds of Whiskey Bars... but a trip to the Driskill Hotel in Austin and a glass of this in a Texas sized leather chair: and I am a full convert. Don't hesitate- this is an incredible, genre bending bourbon that I want to drink on my deathbed. Unbelievable, original, smooth as butter.
 
David
David,
Smooth taste of paradise!
 
Scott
Scott,
Wasn't a fan. Very unusual for a bourbon.
