Garrison Brothers Bourbon Excursion

This weekend, Friday, February 5 and Saturday, February 6, Garrison Brothers Distillery is taking over the legendary Gage Hotel in Marathon, Texas for our first annual Bourbon Excursion. That’s right, we have pretty much blocked off every room in the hotel for the ultimate bourbon-fueled weekend. All the rooms at the hotel are already sold out.

If you’re a desert rat, prairie dog or chili cook, and don’t mind sleeping in a tent, there may still be a few tickets left for the concert and the dinner. Give The Gage a call to lock those down. (432) 386-4205

Friday night there will be a private concert at the Gage with Mark Powell and Lariat, from Abilene, Texas, which will begin outside the White Buffalo Bar at 7. Saturday night, Chef Brandon Waddell at the 12 Gage Restaurant will design, display and serve a special multi-course dinner pairing various exotic food courses with Garrison Brothers bourbon vintages and cocktails. The mouth-watering menu is below.

Given how quickly this event sold out, look for more invitations here soon for future Garrison Brothers Bourbon Excursions.

We look forward to spending a glorious weekend in West Texas with you. Salud!

There is a sound the Hill Country makes before dawn, a low hush that rolls across the pasture and slips through the oak trees like it is checking to see who is awake. You can stand outside the stillhouse and hear it. You can feel it, too, if you stand still long enough. It is […]

There’s a certain kind of treasure you only find in Texas. It isn’t always something you can hold in your hands. Sometimes it’s a place. Sometimes it’s a memory. Sometimes it’s a bottle of bourbon that carries a whole stretch of this state inside it. Over the years, we’ve made a lot of whiskey out […]
