Garrison Brothers Laguna Madre Texas Bourbon Whiskey

About Garrison Brothers Laguna Madre Texas Bourbon Whiskey

Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from organic corn, wheat, and barley. “We get about 30,000 pounds of corn, wheat and barley delivered a month,” says Garrison. “The wheat comes from our own fields — we have 65 acres of wheat on the other side of the property.” In addition, the corn is harvested from local fields in Texas while the barley is sourced from the Pacific Northwest.

Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being fermented for four days. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled through an antique, copper pot still nicknamed the copper cowgirl. “She was made as an experimental still,” says Garrison, “for Wild Turkey Distillery.” After the bourbon has been distilled, it is aged in charred, American oak barrels. “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 deep into the wood and extract the chemical compounds that are in there.”

The Laguna Madre is a very special release for Garrison Brothers. Nearly a decade in the making, it’s their oldest bourbon to date. After spending 4 years in new American oak casks, the whiskey was transferred into French Limousin oak barrels that are made from trees that are at least 120 years old. The 8-year-old limited-edition straight bourbon is bottled at 101 proof and features a truly unique, exciting, and complex taste profile.
