Garrison Brothers introduced the first bourbon whiskey legally made in Texas in 2010 and has since developed a rabid fan base. Garrison Brothers Distillery is a small farm and ranch located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country that authentically produces straight bourbon whiskey. Bottles will then be distributed to select liquor stores, bars, and restaurants across the nation, available for purchase nationwide the week of August 1. HoneyDew will be available at the distillery in Hye, Texas, for $89.99 beginning July 18. Per state law, the bottles are sold for off-premise consumption. Garrison Brothers will celebrate the release of HoneyDew with a drive-thru sealed bottle sales day at their distillery in Hye, Texas on Saturday, July 18. It deserves to be behind every sophisticated bar in America.” “It is light, delicate, gentle, floral, and perfect for sipping on the porch in the summertime. Our HoneyDew is the most magical nectar I have ever tasted,” said Garrison. “I’ve been drinking bourbon since I was 13 years old. The new bourbon has tasting notes of sweet elderberry syrup, yellow-flesh peaches, apricots, white chocolate, and of course, delicious, golden Texas honey.

We want to continue bringing fine honey and fine bourbon together for everyone to enjoy.”

“It’s been a rewarding experience to work with Dan Garrison over the years and we’re excited to deepen Burleson’s relationship with him and his team. “It’s exciting to have two family-owned businesses collaborating in support of Texas agriculture and entrepreneurship,” said Tim Burleson, President of Burleson’s Honey. Once Todd was satisfied that the cubes had absorbed the honey, he used cheesecloth to contain the cubes and immersed them in the stainless-steel tank of bourbon every day for six months.

The cubes were then infused with more Burleson’s Honey by Matt Albrecht of River Drive Cooperage using a patented technique called Fiber Infusion Technology. He immersed the cubes in Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey. He then decimated all the empty bourbon barrels by sawing them into small wooden cubes. Master distiller Donnis Todd emptied 176 four-year-old Garrison Brothers Small Batch Bourbon barrels, coopered by Black Swan Cooperage, into a stainless-steel tank, where the liquid mellowed for seven months. Garrison’s objections to flavored whiskies come from the fact that so many are syrupy, chemical concoctions several even made with propylene glycol. Dan strongly objected due to his disdain for “flavored whiskies,” hence the name “HoneyDew”, as a play on “Honey Do” requests. Nancy Garrison, business partner and wife of proprietor Dan Garrison, wanted the distillery to produce a honey-infused bourbon whiskey since they started the business together in 2006. This special release is 13 years in the making and represents a departure from previous expressions created by the brand. It will be available year-round in select liquor stores, bars, and restaurants throughout Texas, California, Florida, New York, twenty one other states as well as on military bases where Garrison Brothers is sold. The 80-proof bourbon, infused with 100% Texas-made Burleson’s wildflower honey, is a smooth, light bourbon with a subtle honey finish. Now, that’s what I call customer service!

I said I could come pick it up later, but knowing what a crazy day I am having, he offered to deliver it to my house!!! And did so within minutes of my call. I called Brix and the owner remembered me, checked into my purchase and saw that, indeed, the wine had been included in the charge, and was still there. Heaven Forbid! I didn’t realize it was missing until I got home and unloaded everything. As I dashed out of there heading to the next thing on my To-Do list, I failed to notice that I had left a bottle of wine behind. The owner was super helpful and friendly. First of all, it’s a beautiful shop with a great selection. “Went to Brix for the first time today in the midst of a bunch of errands trying to get ready for my son’s wedding weekend.
