Garrison Brothers Bottled in Bond Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Experience the pinnacle of distilling purity and Lone Star state pride with Garrison Brothers Bottled in Bond Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Handcrafted in the rugged Hill Country of Hye, Texas, this ultra-premium, limited-edition expression represents a monumental milestone: it is the first legally designated Bottled in Bond bourbon produced in Texas history. Embodying absolute authenticity and elite craftsmanship, this top-shelf bottle is forged to satisfy the most demanding whiskey purists and high-end bourbon collectors in the world.

To bear the coveted federal "Bottled-in-Bond" designation, a spirit must adhere to the strict standards established by the historic Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This rare Texas straight bourbon whiskey is:

• The product of a single distilling season (crafted entirely by Master Distiller Donnis Todd).
• Distilled at a single legal distillery (Garrison Brothers, the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas).
• Aged for a minimum of five years (exceeding the federal 4-year requirement) in deeply charred, new American white oak barrels.
• Bottled precisely at 100 proof (50% ABV).

The intense, scorching Texas climate acts as a natural turbocharger during maturation. The extreme heat forces the sweet mash bill—composed of local Texas food-grade corn, premium north-western winter wheat, and two-row barley—deep into the toasted oak pores. This rapid expansion and contraction imparts an exceptionally dark mahogany colour, a velvety viscosity, and a hyper-concentrated oak complexity that rivals traditional Kentucky straight bourbons twice its age. Non-chill filtered and hand-sealed with a signature custom wax top, this luxury craft spirit offers unmatched proof, purity, and provenance.

Authentic Tasting Notes & Flavour Profile

• Appearance: Striking dark mahogany and deep burnt amber with thick, oily, slow-moving legs.
• Aroma: A rich, complex bouquet of toasted marshmallow, heavy vanilla bean, and dark molasses, transitioning into old leather, saddle soap, and freshly baked pecan pie.
• Palate: Full-bodied, robust, and beautifully balanced. Upfront flavours of dark honey, sweet plum, and dark chocolate covered cherries are perfectly grounded by bold baking spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and heavy toasted oak tannins.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and comforting. The initial sweet brown sugar notes slowly give way to a pleasant, drying finish of cracked black pepper, tobacco leaf, and smoky oak.
