Another strictly limited edition Cowboy Bourbon from Garrison Brothers to savor.
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 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. "
