Company Overview

Garrison Brothers Distillery is located on a small ranch in the beautiful Texas Hill Country that authentically produces straight bourbon whiskey. Garrison Brothers introduced the first bourbon whiskey legally made in Texas in 2010 and has since developed a rabid fan base. They currently have a waitlist of more than 18,000 just to volunteer on bottling days, and their Cowboy Bourbon® normally sells out within hours of its release. Garrison Brothers is the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history and the first distillery outside of Kentucky to produce authentic, handmade bourbon whiskey—and only bourbon whiskey. Every expression of Garrison Brothers bourbon is made from a sweet mash bill and aged in custom barrels to withstand in the intense Texas heat. The cool nights and hot days create multiple aging seasons in a year, resulting in a darker, richer, and fuller bourbon, bolder than almost any other bourbon on the market. In 2023, Garrison Brothers Distillery, was named Distillery of the Year and presented with the prestigious Bubble Cap award by the American Distilling Institute. Garrison Brothers Distillery was also named Bourbon Distillery of the Year for both 2022 and 2023 by the Melbourne International Spirits Competition. In 2024, Garrison Brothers Distillery was named Texas Small Batch Distillery of the Year by the New York International Spirits Competition. Garrison Brothers continually takes home prestigious award wins across spirits competitions and expressions. Most recently, Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon® was awarded Platinum at the 2024 TAG Global Spirits Awards; Platinum at the 2024 SIP Awards; Double Gold, Best in Show, Best of Class and Gold at the 2024 American Craft Spirits Competition. Garrison Brothers Balmorhea was awarded Platinum at the 2024 Chilled 100 Spirits Awards; Platinum at the 2024 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge; Double Gold at the 2024 Global Whisky Challenge.
