Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Double Barrel Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Twice the barrel. Twice the legend. Garrison Brothers Balmorhea is the most ambitious and extraordinary expression in the Garrison Brothers lineup — a Texas straight bourbon of almost incomprehensible depth and complexity, produced by aging the whiskey not once but twice in new charred American oak barrels under the relentless Texas Hill Country sun.
Named for the remote and breathtaking Balmorhea State Park in West Texas — home to the world’s largest natural spring-fed swimming pool and one of the most unexpected and awe-inspiring places in the Lone Star State — this double barrel expression is as rare, remarkable, and worth the journey as the place it honors. The first barrel builds the bold, sun-driven Texas bourbon foundation. The second barrel takes that already exceptional spirit and drives it deeper — extracting more oak, more complexity, and more of the extraordinary richness that only Garrison Brothers and the Texas climate can produce together.

Finish: Exceptionally long, warm & deeply satisfying — lingering oak tannins, dark fruit, caramel & a slow, powerful fade that echoes long after the last sip
