What Defines This Bottle
Small Batch
Whiskey blended from a limited, curated group of barrels; an industry term with no fixed legal batch size, describing a blending approach rather than a recipe or flavor profile.
A blending choice made at the very end of the process -- barrels are selected and married together in a deliberately limited group rather than a distillery's full, larger-scale blending vat. Bottle matches here come from a bottle's own name explicitly naming it a small batch release, not an independent barrel-count field -- see this style's own Explore Bottles section for that caveat. See Process for how the same mash bill and barrel choices upstream of this step shape what ends up in that group of barrels to begin with.

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.
