What Defines This Bottle
Bottled-in-Bond
A federally regulated designation; single distiller, single season, aged at least 4 years, bottled at exactly 100 proof; layered on top of an underlying recipe rather than describing one of its own.
Governed by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 (27 CFR § 5.42): single distiller, single distillery, single distillation season, aged at least 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof. This site's own catalog records one proof designation per bottle, so a real-world Bottled-in-Bond release that also happens to be barrel-proof-labeled may only surface here under one of the two designations -- see How to Read a Label and the Proof & Dilution Calculator for how a fixed 100-proof requirement compares to standard and barrel-proof bottling.

Disclosed production notes from Garrison Brothers Distillery -- structured, sourced facts, not a tasting review.
- Water Source
- Rainwater harvested on-site commingled with local Edwards Plateau limestone-filtered aquifer water.
- Cooperage
- Charred New American White Oak (custom Char #3 and Char #4 from Kelvin Cooperage and Independent Stave Company), utilizing 15-gallon, 30-gallon, and traditional 53-gallon barrels.
- Warehouse Notes
- Non-climate-controlled barns regularly exceed 120°F in summer, creating severe internal barrel pressure that cycles liquid deep into the staves while driving angel's share losses upwards of 10-13% annually.
