BOURBON PODCAST ANNOUNCES 2023 WHISKEY OF THE YEAR

Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon Receives Unanimous Selection

CHARLESON, W.Va., Dec. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After sampling over 100 whiskeys in 2023, Bourbon Podcast announced its 2023 Whiskey of the Year: Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon^®.

The highly anticipated 2023 release of Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon^® was limited to 9,600 bottles coming in at 140.9 proof. Cowboy Bourbon^® is bottled at cask strength, uncut and unfiltered, providing a unique flavor that is distinctly Garrison Brothers and unapologetically Texas.

"The 2023 release of Cowboy Bourbon^® really stood out to us," said Joe Nassif, co-host of Bourbon Podcast. "It is a big, bold, hazmat bourbon that is packed with flavor. It tastes like a dessert in a glass, with notes of brown sugar, chocolate, raisins, and cinnamon."

Each barrel of Cowboy Bourbon^® was hand-selected by Master Distiller Donnis Todd and stashed away in Garrison Brothers' barrel barns for at least six years. The process and high heat in Texas allows the bourbon to soak in even more flavor and texture, resulting in an incredible product. "Cowboy 2013, the first Cowboy ever released, put Garrison Brothers and Texas on the bourbon map," said Donnis Todd, Master Distiller, Garrison Brothers Distillery. "It's an honor a decade after the first release having the 2023 Cowboy named as the 2023 Whiskey of the Year," Todd said.

Founded in 2005, Garrison Brothers Distillery is located in Hye, Texas. In 2006, the distillery was granted the first stiller's permit for bourbon outside of Kentucky and Tennessee, which makes it the oldest legal bourbon distillery in Texas.
