Garrison Brothers Distillery will release its second Bottled-in-Bond expression, a six-year-old, 100-proof Texas straight bourbon, on Saturday, 14 November 2026. The launch will take place at the distillery in Hye, Texas, during the annual Red, White & Bourbon fundraiser benefiting The National Museum of the Pacific War.
The bourbon was distilled in October 2020 during the autumn distilling season. It is made from Texas grains and proofed with Hill Country rainwater.
Garrison Brothers is the oldest legal whiskey distillery in Texas to produce corn-to-cork bourbon.

READ THE STORYThe first 1,000 bottles will go on sale at the distillery during the ticketed fundraiser. Gates open to the public at 8am for the release, two hours ahead of the fundraiser’s 11am start.
Bottles will be sold throughout the day on a first-come, first-served basis. Any remaining stock will be available in the distillery gift shop from Monday, 16 November 2026.
The bottled-in-bond designation requires that a spirit is produced within one distilling season by one distiller at a single distillery, aged in bonded storage, and bottled at 100 proof. These rules stem from the 1897 US Bottled-in-Bond Act, established to protect the integrity of the national spirit.

This second release follows the distillery’s debut Bottled-in-Bond expression in February 2026.
Bottled at 50% ABV, the bourbon carries official tasting notes from the brand of toasted brown sugar, cinnamon and white pepper. The finish offers hints of leather and vanilla, with nods to nutmeg and anise.
Master distiller Donnis Todd selected the barrels used for the release. “I’ve selected 102 fifty-three-gallon barrels filled on October 2, 2020, to support the next round of Bottled in Bond,” he said. “It’s beautiful. I’m excited to share what came out of these hard working six-year-old 53-gallon barrels and give Garrison Brothers fans a taste of the future.”
The expression carries a suggested retail price of $89.99 (£67). It will be available through e-commerce and at select retailers, restaurants and bars by the end of November 2026.
A total of 19,500 bottles will be available across the market for this release.
