Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon 2025 Limited Edition

Every now and then, Garrison Brothers unleashes one of the most coveted bourbons in America, Cowboy Bourbon, a legendary Texas powerhouse bottled uncut, unfiltered, and straight from the distillery’s most exceptional “honey barrels.” The 2025 release continues that legacy with staggering intensity, clocking in at 146.4 proof (73.2% ABV), yet delivering an impossibly smooth, nectar-sweet profile that defies its blistering strength.

Cowboy Bourbon is born from barrels personally selected by Dan Garrison and Master Distiller Donnis Todd, barrels so unique, so flavor-packed, they are set aside for years of extra maturation under the relentless Texas sun. These barrels undergo extreme heat exposure inside Garrison Brothers’ steel barns, where temperatures soar well past 100°F for half the year. The punishing heat forces the bourbon deep into the pores of American oak, extracting extraordinary richness, color, and sweetness.

The result? A cask-strength bourbon so decadent that the flavor overpowers the proof, not the other way around. This is pure Texas craftsmanship bold, intense, deeply layered, and unmistakably Garrison Brothers.

The Cowboy Bourbon line has earned Platinum and Gold medals at the world’s most prestigious competitions, including the 2023 ASCOT Awards, 2024 SIP Awards, and 2024 TAG Global Spirits Awards. Every release sells out instantly, becoming a prized collectible and a bucket-list bottle for bourbon enthusiasts worldwide.

As Donnis Todd famously says:
“118 barrels meant to be enjoyed together.”

The Story

Cowboy Bourbon started as a private secret — a handful of barrels so rich and concentrated that they were too powerful to blend into standard releases. As Garrison Brothers explored those barrels, they realized they held something extraordinary. Thus, Cowboy Bourbon was born.

Each year’s release pays homage to Texas’ harsh climate and the distillery’s daring approach to maturation. While other distilleries avoid high heat, Garrison Brothers embraces it. The temperature swings, steel barns, and intense humidity forge a bourbon unlike anything made in Kentucky or anywhere else. Cowboy Bourbon is the result of heat-forging, yielding thick, syrupy liquid with explosive flavor, remarkable sweetness, and a surprisingly smooth finish for its extreme proof.
