Garrison Brothers Ranch Reserve
Ranch Reserve is where Garrison Brothers explores exceptional finishing casks and only the barrels that truly come together make the cut. These are very limited releases, born in Hye, Texas, then guided deeper by time, patience, and character-rich casks.
Every so often, we find a finished bourbon that deserves to stand on its own. That’s Ranch Reserve. We start with bold Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey made from scratch at our distillery in Hye, Texas, then move select barrels into character-rich finishing casks and taste them month after month until the balance is right. These releases are not bottled because they are different. They’re bottled because they’re worthy.
Ranch Reserve also carries forward a part of our history. Years ago, the spirit of experimentation that gave rise to Balmorhea, Estacado, and HoneyDew helped show us what finished bourbon could be in Hye. Ranch Reserve is the next evolution of that idea. More focused. More selective. More exacting.
Savory, structured, and built for slow sipping, Oloroso Sherry Cask Finished shows a different side of Ranch Reserve. After four years in white American oak, it spends four more in Oloroso sherry casks from Spain, bringing out notes of walnut, fig, and baking spices in a bourbon that still speaks with a Texas voice.

Only The Barrels That Make The Cut
Ranch Reserve is not a catchall for every finishing idea that comes through the gate. It is a home for the barrels that rise above the rest. These first two releases happen to speak with Spanish accents, one dry and savory, one dark and lush. Stay tuned for future Ranch Reserve releases that Donnis has deemed worthy of the Garrison Brothers name.
