BOURBON BLOG

Yeah, I know: Texans have once again drank the state dry of Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Last week I promised to bring a few bottles to tailgate parties. But after visiting four Twin Liquors, two Specs, and Cypress Valley Spirits, I was only able to find three bottles. As I understand it every Twin Liquors […]

First, I want to let you know that almost all the bottles of Garrison Brothers bourbon we’ve ever introduced are now completely sold out.  All 2010, 2011 and 2012 vintages are completely gone. Only 200 cases of the Spring 2013 Vintage remain in our distributor’s warehouses.  If you see one of these bottles in your local […]

If you’re headed to the Hill Country this summer, plan your trip for this coming weekend, June 21st, for the Stonewall Peach Jamboree and Rodeo — undoubtedly the greatest display of pure, country, redneck-Americana one can experience. The 52ND Annual Peach Jamboree, Parade and Rodeo is THIS Friday and Saturday. There’s a rodeo and dance each night. The […]

Wanted to let ya’ll know about a few Garrison Brothers bourbon tastings and events happening around our great state this June. Hope you can come out and have a drink with me. Bourbon Pairing Dinner at the Fredericksburg Herb Farm Thursday evening, June 13, Fredericksburg Chef Taylor Fraser has taken over the kitchen at the gorgeous […]

Friends, Last week was bittersweet in Hye, Texas. A distributor’s truck arrived and hauled off an amazing little bourbon. “Little” may apply to the 375-ml size of the bottle, but nothing else is little about Garrison Brothers’ Cowboy Bourbon. This is the first new bourbon we have introduced since we released Garrison Brothers Texas Straight […]

For those who follow this biennial pilgrimage of our esteemed leaders to the nation’s largest state capitol building, this is a time of hope, or more likely, a time to have one’s hopes crushed like grapes. […]

When you signed up for this newsletter, I promised I’d send it just twice a year to keep from cluttering your in-box. Well, I lied. Here’s why: Yesterday, a 10-page story about Garrison Brothers Distillery broke in Southwest Airlines in-flight magazine, Spirit. When senior editor Alison Miller originally approached us about it, we knew it […]

When I am not wearing boots in Hye, you can often find me wearing running shoes at The Trail at Lady Bird Lake. In fact, with help from some special friends, I founded the Town Lake Trail Foundation back in 2002. Today, the organization is called The Trail Foundation and the Trail is now the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail. Whatever […]

As always Texans are the greatest humans on earth! In fewer than 48 hours, we now have all the help we need and a few hundred very cool people waiting in the wings. We can’t work anyone else into the bottling schedule until next year. God bless you all and thank you so much for […]
