GARRISON BROTHERS COWBOY BOURBON AVAILABLE NOW

Garrison Brothers Distillery is thrilled to announce that the re-release of their critically acclaimed Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon™, is officially available in select liquor stores and accounts nationwide.  Initially released in 2013, and named in Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible as the Micro Whiskey of the Year scoring a remarkable 96 points, Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon™ sold out instantly.  Now for 2015, Garrison Brothers is raising the bar — not only in regard to the quality of Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon™ but also in the amount produced — making 5,200 bottles available to consumers this year.
 
Just like the little distillery’s flagship bourbon, Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon™ is made from organic Panhandle corn, soft red winter wheat grown at the distillery, two-row malted barley and ultra-pure Hill Country rainwater.  It has been aged in North American White Oak barrels for four years, making it the oldest bourbon ever produced in Texas, and twice as old as the 2013 release of Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon™. Whereas the 2013 release was packaged in small 375ml bottles, the new release is bottled in 750ml bottles but priced about the same as the original release. This bourbon is barrel proof, unfiltered and uncut, weighing in at 135 proof or 67.5% ABV. As such, it is not meant for the faint of heart, for making cocktails or for heavy drinking. It is to be sipped and savored slowly in moderation.
 
Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon™ is packaged in a rugged custom white American oak box, lined with deerskin, and as always with Garrison Brothers; each bottle is hand-numbered and signed by master distiller Donnis Todd with Dan Garrison’s signature on the back of the box.  Texans are getting first dibs on the Cowboy because according to Garrison, “around here, you dance with the one who brung ya”.  In other states where Garrison Brothers is sold, consumers should ask their local liquor store to get them a bottle although most liquor stores that already carry Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey started customer wait lists in early Summer and sold out already. Those who own or manage a bar, restaurant or hotel can still contact their wholesaler for pricing and availability, however.
 
If the bourbon isn’t stolen on its way, which seems to happen frequently in Kentucky, Garrison Brothers Distillery expects it to arrive to distributor’s warehouses any day now and ride out to stores and accounts throughout the month of September.  According to Dan Garrison, “the color alone makes this bourbon remarkable, but the taste and finish is the stuff of legends.”
 
Garrison Brothers Distillery™ is a small bourbon whiskey farm located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. We cook, ferment, distill, barrel, mature and bottle Garrison Brothers Texas Bourbon™ Whiskey from our kitchen, still-house and barrel barns in Hye, Texas. Garrison Brothers™ was the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas history. When the business was started in 2006, Garrison Brothers was the only distillery in America successfully producing authentic bourbon whiskey and only bourbon whiskey outside of Kentucky and Tennessee.
 
The business is owned by the Garrison family, its staff, and a few friends. The business is a proud and active member of the Texas communities of Blanco, Fredericksburg, Hye, Johnson City and Stonewall. The distillery and its barrel barns are open to the public for tours in the Texas Hill Country in Hye, Texas.
