BOURBON BLOG
July 8, 2011

Don’t know about ya’ll but I’m parched. The Hill Country is drier than hell on a hot day. Ashamed TV weather reporters are hiding out like Al Quaeda terrorists. And I’m too poor to pack it all up and go to Colorado like those Escalade-driving-sons-of-bitches I keep seeing on the highway.

Fortunately, there’s a little Garrison Brothers bourbon down here to help wash away the dust. There are a few bottles of the Spring 2011 release remaining at scattered stores in San Antonio and the Hill Country. A few store owners have offered to let me come in and sign bottles for customers.

Signing Bottles

If you’re buying a bottle as a gift for someone special, please come see me and I’ll write a little personal note on the back. Here’s my schedule:

  • Judy’s Liquors in Fredericksburg – Friday, July 15, 4 to 5:30  
  • Spec’s Wine and Spirits (I-35 and Loop 1604 in Live Oak/north of San Antonio) – Saturday, July 16, 2 to 5:00
  • Hill Country Liquors in Blanco – Friday, July 22, 4 to 5:30

If you are a liquor store owner or manager, please don’t hesitate to call me so we can schedule one of these. Love meeting ya’ll and swapping stories.

Oh, and God, please send us some rain. We’ve been real patient. We’d sure appreciate it. I can promise I’ll be out dancing in it … wearing nothing but my boots.

If you’ve never been out to Balmorhea, it’s hard to explain what it feels like the first time you see it. You drive for hours through West Texas, past land that looks like it’s given up on trying to impress you. Flat stretches of scrub and rock. Fence posts leaning into the wind. Heat that […]

I’ve always loved how Texas teaches you patience. Out here, the land works on its own timeline. You can’t hurry limestone. You can’t hurry oak. And you sure can’t hurry a bourbon that’s going to be worth pouring. We make bourbon in Hye, Texas, but our gratitude has always extended beyond our fences. Garrison Brothers […]
