Garrison Brothers Distillery
Garrison Brothers Distillery didn’t just join the bourbon world—they rewrote the rulebook. As the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas and the first distillery outside of Kentucky to produce authentic, handmade bourbon whiskey, Garrison Brothers has been blazing trails since 2006. What started as one man’s vision has become a Texas legend and a benchmark for American craft spirits.
Founder Dan Garrison set out with an audacious goal: to craft the world’s finest bourbon right here in the Texas Hill Country. Nearly two decades later, that devotion to excellence has produced award-winning bourbons that command respect from whiskey enthusiasts worldwide and prove that exceptional bourbon isn’t confined to Kentucky’s borders.
At their Texas Hill Country ranch, Garrison Brothers maintains an uncompromising approach to bourbon production. This is handmade bourbon in the truest sense—small-batch craftsmanship that honors traditional methods while embracing the unique characteristics that Texas terroir brings to the whiskey-making process.
The Texas climate, with its extreme temperature swings, accelerates the aging process and imparts distinctive flavors you won’t find in bourbons made elsewhere. Combined with meticulous attention to every detail—from grain selection to barrel aging—Garrison Brothers produces spirits that are unmistakably Texan and undeniably world-class.
At Cowboy Tours, we’re proud to showcase pioneers who’ve put Texas on the map for exceptional spirits. Garrison Brothers’ historic significance, unwavering commitment to quality, and ranch setting make them an essential stop for anyone wanting to understand Texas’s contributions to American whiskey. This is where you’ll taste history in the making—and some of the finest bourbon produced anywhere.
