Garrison Brothers Distillery has released its first Bottled in Bond Bourbon, a six-year-old, 100-proof Texas bourbon made from Texas grains and proofed with Hill Country rainwater.
Becoming the 10th bourbon in the brand’s portfolio and distilled in Fall 2019, the expression followed the path and process protected by the 1897 U.S. law that was set to demand and preserve clarity in the national spirit. It must be made from one distilling season, one distiller, one distillery; aged in bonded storage; and bottled at 100 proof.
“From day one, Garrison Brothers has cooked our own mash, fermented our own distillers beer, pot-distilled, and aged our bourbon right here in Hye, Texas,” said Dan Garrison, Founder of Garrison Brothers Distillery. “There’s no BS here. For six summers, this whiskey moved in and out of the wood, tightening its flavor and deepening its color. We proofed it down to 100 and put our name on it. This release marks a milestone for Texas distilling, Donnis Todd and our entire team.”
“One run, one place, one team. Then we let Texas do what Texas does,” added Donnis Todd, Master Distiller, Garrison Brothers. “Hot days. Cool nights. Oak inhaling and exhaling until the whiskey got bold, and layered, and honest. We were not chasing ‘bottled-in-bond.’ We were chasing the best bottled-in-bond bourbon ever made.”
Founded in 2006, Garrison Brothers is the first and oldest legal whiskey distillery in Texas, and the first distillery outside of Kentucky to produce corn-to-cork Bourbon.
On Saturday (Feb. 28) in celebration of Texas Independence Day, 2,000 bottles of Garrison Brothers Bottled in Bond will be available first come first serve at the distillery in Hye, Texas during their Bottled in Bond, A 100 Proof Texas Celebration event.
Garrison Brothers Bottled in Bond will be available at end of March for $99.99.
