Some Texas bourbon history
Garrison Brothers Distillery introduced their bourbon whiskey in 2010 and has never looked back. Founded in 2006, they refined their mash bill until they created an extraordinarily satisfying and now famous whiskey. Their distillery is the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history. There is a boast about the impact of scorching Texas summers on their spirits, and from what I saw, their three-year-old bourbons had the rich color of a much older bourbon.

Garrison Brothers Small Batch Bourbon Beats their Single Barrel?
During our tasting review, we found that the small-batch bourbon beats the single barrel in this case. The blending of the small-batch has created a sweet, smooth, and approachable bourbon. The single barrel is good, but in several ways, aroma, taste, mouthfeel; the Garrison Brothers Small Batch is my choice between the two.
I have had the distinct pleasure of trying some truly outstanding single-barrel bourbons, but once in a while, a small batch bourbon beats the single barrel. Always remember that no two barrels of whiskey are ever identical. A small-batch, by definition, is a combination of barrels that create a unique or specific flavor profile. A single barrel is a single barrel, and they can be pretty different from barrel to barrel even though they have the same mash bill, aging, etc.

Garrison Brothers will release their Cowboy Bourbon for 2021 on September 25th. Two things: You have to pick them up in person at the distillery, and you are allowed one per person.

For Garrison Brothers, if you distill it, they will come.
