Garrison Brothers Sonora Bourbon

The Garrison Brothers Sonora Bourbon is the newest innovation from Texas’ first legal bourbon distillery, embodying the wild beauty and untamed spirit of the Lone Star State. Finished in carefully selected rye whiskey barrels, this limited release highlights both the rugged character of Texas bourbon and the influence of bold rye spice. Named after the awe-inspiring Caverns of Sonora, this expression captures a sense of history, place, and craftsmanship that is uniquely Texan.

Why Buy the Garrison Brothers Sonora Bourbon?
This isn’t just another bourbon release—it’s a landmark. Sonora Bourbon celebrates female leadership in whiskey, led by distiller Samantha Olvera, the first Latina woman in Texas to craft bourbon from grain to glass. With only a handful of rye-finished bourbons ever attempted at Garrison Brothers, this 2025 release is destined to become a highly collectible expression. Every bottle also supports conservation, with $5 donated to protect the Caverns of Sonora, adding purpose to every sip.

The Background
In March 2022, Garrison Brothers filled thirty 53-gallon rye whiskey barrels with four-year-old Texas Straight Bourbon. After three years of finishing, that bourbon transformed into Sonora—a spirit shaped by time, climate, and the expertise of a team dedicated to pushing boundaries. Guided by Master Distiller Donnis Todd, with Olvera and Nancy Garrison leading the project, Sonora reflects both the strength of the Garrison women and the pioneering tradition of the brand itself.
