With every Cowboy Bourbon® release, Garrison Brothers Master Distiller Donnis Todd uses his most prized and unique barrels, which he diligently hand selects year after year. The standout barrels are set aside for further maturation in the extreme Texas climate resulting in some of the best and boldest bourbon in existence.

The 2025 Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon, coming in at 146.4 proof, embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship and dedication to the art of bourbon making. Garrison Brothers’ 2025 Cowboy tasting notes include burnt wood, gun smoke, and toasted marshmallows on the nose. The taste is surprising and complicated—it oozes with black pepper and cooking spice, balanced by plum and apricot.

“It’s strong and mean at first, but the all-encompassing flavor makes your mouth water, and you’ll begin to drool if you’re not careful. The flood of warmth never ends. Layered dried fruits and toasted marshmallows—it’s a Texas chaser you can’t stop sipping.“ shares Donnis Todd, Master Distiller, Garrison Brothers Distillery.
