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.

After the grains are delivered to the distillery, they undergo a four-day fermentation process after being mashed and ground. After fermentation, an old copper pot known as the “copper cowgirl” is used to distill the wash. The bourbon is aged in charred American oak barrels after distillation. “She was made as an experimental still,” Garrison explains, “for Wild Turkey Distillery.”The bourbon can extend into the wood because the char softens it. When the temperature rises, as it does in Texas, the bourbon will seep deeply into the wood and release the chemical compounds there.

For Garrison Brothers, the Laguna Madre is a particularly significant release. It is their oldest bourbon to date and has been in the production for about ten years. The whiskey was moved into French Limousin oak barrels, which are manufactured from trees that are at least 120 years old, after it had spent four years in brand-new American oak casks. The 8-year-old limited-edition straight bourbon has a very distinctive, intriguing, and nuanced flavor character. It is bottled at 101 proof.
