The Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon 2023 Release is the flagship expression from Texas's first legal bourbon distillery — and it doesn't hold back. Bottled at cask strength without chill filtration or added water, Cowboy is a raw, unapologetic pour that showcases the full intensity of Texas-aged bourbon.
Aged for a minimum of four years in new American white oak barrels, the relentless Texas heat accelerates maturation, concentrating flavours and pushing the spirit to extraordinary depths. Each year's release is a unique snapshot of the distillery's craft, and the 2023 expression is no exception.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich caramel, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and toasted oak with a warm vanilla undertone.
Palate: Bold and full-bodied — waves of toffee, cinnamon spice, roasted nuts, and ripe stone fruit. The high proof delivers a satisfying heat that builds gradually.
Finish: Long, warming, and complex with lingering oak, dark sugar, and a touch of leather.
Distillery
Founded in 2010 in Hye, Texas, Garrison Brothers Distillery is a pioneer of Texas bourbon. Their Cowboy expression has become one of the most sought-after limited releases in American whiskey, celebrated for its uncompromising character and exceptional quality.
Best enjoyed neat or with a single drop of water to open up the spirit. Not for the faint-hearted.
