Highlight: Bottled In Bond (Fall 2019 Release)
The star of this bundle is the Bottled in Bond expression, distilled in the Fall of 2019 with a singular goal: to set the standard for Texas bonded whiskey. Adhering strictly to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this spirit was produced in one distilling season, by one distiller, at one distillery in Hye, Texas.
It starts with a sweet mash of Panhandle white corn, soft red winter wheat, and two-row malted barley. The spirit is then aged for six scorching Texas summers in custom 30-gallon toasted and charred American white oak barrels. This smaller barrel size combined with the wild heat pushes the spirit deep into the wood, creating a whiskey with intense color, structure, and layered flavor before being bottled at exactly 100 Proof.
Highlight: Red, White & Blue Small Batch
Accompanying the limited release is the distinct Red, White, and Blue Small Batch. This special edition features Garrison Brothers' flagship liquid dipped in a tri-color patriotic wax seal. Inside the bottle is the handcrafted 94-proof straight bourbon that put Texas on the whiskey map—rich, dark, and packed with signature notes of caramelized sugar, baking spice, and white chocolate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Bottled in Bond different from the Small Batch? The Bottled in Bond is a vintage release from a single distilling season (Fall 2019) and is bottled at exactly 100 Proof as required by federal law. It is aged for six summers to maximize oak extraction. The Small Batch is a mingling of barrels bottled at 94 Proof, designed for a consistent, signature flavor profile.
What does "Sweet Mash" mean? Unlike the sour mash process used by most Kentucky distilleries (which uses backset from a previous distillation), Garrison Brothers uses a sweet mash. This means they start with fresh ingredients—white corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley—for every batch, resulting in a cleaner, softer, and more grain-forward distillate.
Why is the 30-gallon barrel significant? Garrison Brothers ages this whiskey in 30-gallon barrels rather than the industry-standard 53-gallon barrels. This increases the surface area ratio of wood to liquid, allowing the whiskey to extract flavor and color much faster, especially when combined with the intense Texas climate.
