Garrison Brothers Distillery announced its new Ranch Reserve Series. It’s a collection of limited expressions that explore finishing casks through the lens of Texas bourbon. 

Each release begins with Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey aged four years in white American oak barrels and then moved to character-rich finishing casks. Only the best barrels that truly come together make the cut.

Beginning Saturday, June 27 at 8 a.m., Garrison Brothers Distillery will share the first two inaugural releases with bourbon fans; Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in PX Sherry Casks and Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks, will be released. Both initial Ranch Reserve releases are aged for 8 years.

“These two releases share the same Texas bourbon backbone and deliver two different sherry traditions,” Donnis Todd, Master Distiller, Garrison Brothers, said in a news release. “One dark and decadent and the other, savory and structured. These are beautiful in color and remarkable in taste,” 

PX, short for Pedro Ximénez, a legendary sherry producer in Spain, brings a darker, sweeter richer profile to their finishing barrels. Garrison Brothers Oloroso Sherry Cask Finished starts as a 4-year aged bourbon in new, toasted, and charred white American oak and then rests four years in Oloroso 59-gallon sherry casks from one source in Jerez, Spain. Bottled at 110 proof, the finishing adds notes of walnut and baking spices. It’s a savory, structured bourbon with a suggested retail price of $149.99.

PX and Oloroso Sherry Cask Finished, as part of the Ranch Reserve Series, showcase a brand-new bottle design. The front of the bottle bears a designed leather band and walnut colored wax dipping. The “Ranch Reserve” label will be prominently featured. Each expression produced 6,000 bottles. Both will be first available at the distillery and then online and in select markets to follow.
