Production Details

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.
