Inside the Garrison Brothers Gift Set: Five Texas Bourbons, One Cuban Cigar
If you've ever wanted to explore the full range of Garrison Brothers Distillery without committing to a full bottle of each expression, this gift set was made for you. Our Garrison Brothers Gift Set with Romeo Y Julieta No.3 brings together five 30ml bourbon samples from one of Texas's most celebrated craft distilleries, paired with a classic Cuban cigar — all presented in a premium gift box.
Meet the Five Expressions
Each of the five samples in this set tells a different chapter of the Garrison Brothers story. Here's what you'll find inside:
Guadalupe 2023
Named after the Guadalupe River that winds through the Texas Hill Country, this expression is finished in port wine barrels, lending it a rich, fruit-forward sweetness. Expect notes of dark cherry, vanilla, and a long, warming finish. It's a showstopper — and one of the most sought-after releases in the Garrison Brothers lineup.
Balmorhea 2024 - Ryans Top Pick 2024
Inspired by the natural spring-fed pool in West Texas, Balmorhea is Garrison Brothers' wheated bourbon — a softer, more approachable style that swaps rye for wheat in the mash bill. The result is a silky, gentle dram with notes of honey, toasted oak, and a subtle floral quality. Perfect for those who prefer a smoother, less spicy profile.
HoneyDew 2021
HoneyDew is Garrison Brothers' take on a honey-infused bourbon — made with real Texas wildflower honey. It's sweeter and more playful than the core range, with notes of honeycomb, ripe melon, and warm baking spices. A brilliant introduction to the distillery's more experimental side.
Cowboy Bourbon 2023 - Staff choice award winner
This is Garrison Brothers at its most bold. Cowboy Bourbon is an uncut, unfiltered cask-strength release — bottled exactly as it comes from the barrel. Expect a powerful, full-throttle dram with intense oak, dark fruit, leather, and a heat that builds beautifully. Not for the faint-hearted, but absolutely magnificent for those who like their bourbon with character.
Single Barrel 2022
The Single Barrel expression showcases the individuality of a single cask — no blending, no averaging out. This 2022 release delivers classic Texas bourbon character: big vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, with a depth that rewards slow sipping. Every bottle is unique, and that's precisely the point.
The Pairing: Romeo Y Julieta No.3 Tubos
No bourbon tasting is complete without a great cigar, and the Romeo Y Julieta No.3 Tubos is a natural companion to this set. This classic Cuban cigar — presented in its iconic aluminium tube — offers a medium-bodied smoke with notes of cedar, cream, and gentle spice. Its smooth, balanced profile complements the sweeter, oak-driven character of the Garrison Brothers range without overpowering any single expression.
Our recommendation? Start with the Balmorhea or HoneyDew to warm up your palate, work through the Guadalupe and Single Barrel, and save the Cowboy Bourbon for the final third of your cigar — when both are at their most expressive.
The Perfect Gift
Whether you're shopping for a bourbon enthusiast, a cigar aficionado, or someone who appreciates both, this gift set delivers a genuinely premium experience. It's thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and — crucially — it gives the recipient something to explore rather than simply consume.
All bourbons are supplied in sealed 30ml sample bottles, and the cigar arrives in its original Tubos presentation tube, making the whole set gift-ready straight out of the box.
