Elevate your premium whiskey collection with the Garrison Brothers Ranch Reserve Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished Bourbon. As a highly sought-after, limited expression from the acclaimed Texas distillery, this exceptional bottle serves as a phenomenal centerpiece for any curated selection of fine spirits. With only 6,000 bottles produced, it represents a masterful evolution of the distillery's signature pot-distilled, wheated bourbon.
This eight-year-old masterpiece begins its journey as a sweet mash Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey. It is aged for an initial four years in new, toasted, and charred white American oak barrels under the intense heat of the Texas Hill Country. After this foundational maturation, the liquid is transferred into 59-gallon Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Jerez, Spain, where it rests for an additional four years. Bottled at a robust 110 proof (55% ALC/VOL), the resulting bourbon is powerful, deeply structured, and beautifully presented with a custom leather band and walnut-colored wax seal.
