Garrison Brothers is the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history and is one of the first distilleries in America outside of Kentucky to produce authentic, handmade bourbon whiskey-and only bourbon whiskey. They currently have a waitlist of more than 15,000 just to volunteer on bottling days, and their Cowboy Bourbon™ normally sells out within hours of its release. Garrison Brothers introduced the first bourbon whiskey legally made in Texas in 2010 and has since developed a rabid fan base. Garrison Brothers Distillery is a small farm and ranch located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country that authentically produces straight bourbon whiskey. In addition to the special distillery release event, Laguna Madre will be available at very few select retailers and bars and restaurants across the nation beginning in May 2021 for those fortunate enough to spot and get their hands on a bottle. The organization was able to raise more than $400,000 to help American communities recover and rebuild from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The 2020 Laguna Madre was only available at the distillery and earned by those who donated $1,000 or more. Laguna Madre was used to launch Operation Crush COVID-19 driving donations to Good Bourbon for a Good Cause the distillery’s 501(c)3 public charity.
Dan Garrison and team knew this extra special bottle needed to be put to better use and dedicated the release to support an extraordinary cause. In 2020, the distillery had planned its first release of Laguna Madre to the market, but when the coronavirus pandemic hit, it changed everything. “Garrison Brothers’ Laguna Madre Bourbon is a rarity as is its namesake…a uniqueness of complexity and beauty,” shares Master Distiller Donnis Todd, Garrison Brothers. Each bottle is housed in a custom-built display case, framed by a photo of the Texas Gulf Coast, and hand-signed and numbered by Master Distiller Donnis Todd. The creamy finish of this bourbon is both sensuous and aromatic, with a vanilla content that is off the charts and the liquid clocks in at 101 proof. The imported French Limousin casks are highly sought-after, allocated and prized as they activate unforgettable flavors of woody vanilla, sweet candy cacao and thick, white chocolate. Named after the beautiful blue waters along Texas’ Gulf Coast and the euphoria they induce, this high proof bourbon is first aged for four years in new white American oak barrels and finished for an additional four years in Limousin oak barrels.

Laguna Madre is aged for 8 full years in two different barrels. Laguna Madre, over a decade in the making, represents the pinnacle of Garrison Brothers small-batch, handcrafted process. The highly-coveted release offers whiskey lovers and Garrison Brothers fanatics the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try a bourbon whose bottles will land in the hands of a lucky few. With around 2,000 bottles total entering the market, Garrison Brothers plans to have at least 500 bottles for sale at the event with the rest being distributed across the continental U.S to its partners. After rounds of tear-filled high fives and brotherly hugs, we started talking about names – the easiest part of getting this sensational liquid to market.īourbon candy: frozen fudgesicle bars, amaretto coffee, sticky buns, and pecan brittle.AUSTIN, TX – Garrison Brothers Distillery has announced Saturday to be the release date of Laguna Madre, its rarest and most coveted Texas straight bourbon whiskey expression ever. To celebrate this ten year project and very limited release, Garrison Brothers Distillery will host a drive-thru release event with the special bourbon to be sold on a first come first serve basis at the distillery in Hye, Texas on May 8 beginning at 8AM. In 2017, the bourbon was dumped into a long, thin stainless steel trough we call The Whiskey Girl, and we all began nosing and tasting the results. This second round of barrels had far different lignin and chemical compositions than the original barrels because they had been scorched and toasted differently, caramelizing the sugars in a wonderful new way.
He then rolled a few 27-gallon Kelvin Cooperage barrels from Louisville, Kentucky below the tank spigot and filled the barrels with the already two-year-old straight bourbon. In 2015, Donnis lugged the barrels in from the barns and dumped the liquid into stainless steel tanks. All the while, the liquid inside cycled through the wood’s pores and crevices, extracting every bit of flavor possible. The barrels were then aged in the relentless West Texas heat for two years. In 2013, Master Distiller Donnis Todd filled 22 new American white oak barrels from The Barrel Mill – a Minnesota cooperage – with freshly-distilled 114 proof white dog.
