Organic barley, wheat, and corn are used to make Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey. “We get about 30,000 pounds of corn, wheat and barley delivered a month,” states Garrison. “The wheat comes from our own fields — we have 65 acres of wheat on the other side of the property.” Additionally, the barley comes from the Pacific Northwest, while the maize is gathered from nearby regions in Texas.

Following the arrival of the grains at the distillery, they undergo a four-day fermentation process, after which the wash is distilled through an old copper pot still known as the copper cowgirl. “She was made as an experimental still,” Garrison explains, “for Wild Turkey Distillery.” The bourbon is then aged in charred American oak barrels, explaining that “the char softens the wood and allows the bourbon to expand into the wood. When it gets hot — and it gets hot out here in Texas — that bourbon will soak deeply into the wood and extract the chemical compounds that are in there.”

Garrison Brothers’ most recent CD, Balmorhea, is titled after a famous park in West Texas. Each bottle sells for $5, which is used to renovate the spring-fed pool located over 40 miles south of Pecos, Texas. After being aged for four years in brand-new American white oak barrels, this outstanding Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey was moved to a second new American white oak barrel and aged for another year. It is a powerful yet beautifully constructed whiskey. Balmorhea is like bourbon candy in a bottle.
