Surviving a scorching Texas summer is a test of endurance for both people and bourbon barrels. For Garrison Brothers, their first batch of bourbon faced the brutal heat head-on and didn’t come out unscathed. The relentless sun caused barrels to leak, crack, and shatter, resulting in the loss of hundreds of gallons.

But founder Dan Garrison’s determination matched the intensity of the Texas sun. He sought out a cooperage willing to craft custom barrels with staves thick enough to withstand the blistering 130-degree heat. Texas pride runs deep, and Dan and his team were unwavering in their mission to create the very first legal Texas bourbon.

“The Best Little Stillhouse in Texas™” is not just a slogan; it’s a commitment to producing the finest bourbon whiskey in the Texas Hill Country. Garrison Brothers is a family of bourbon makers and enthusiasts who believe that their bourbon can do more than just tantalize the taste buds—it can fortify friendships, inspire legendary stories, and strengthen faith.

Their values reflect a deep respect for God, family, friends, and country. They believe in welcoming strangers, honoring leaders and elders, and safeguarding the well-being of children. Hard work, integrity, honesty, and a profound appreciation for the land’s resources guide their every endeavor.

In a world that often rushes by, Garrison Brothers appreciates peace, quiet, and tranquility. They cherish their privacy and independence, preserving the simple joys that nature offers.

Above all, they value good health, personal accountability, and moderation. These principles extend to themselves, their families, employees, and friends. Garrison Brothers isn’t just about crafting bourbon; it’s about crafting a way of life that embodies the best of Texas values.
