Texas bourbon fans, it’s time to make the pilgrimage to Hye.

Garrison Brothers Distillery is dropping the 2025 Guadalupe Bourbon on Saturday, July 12th at 8AM, and this year’s release is shaping up to be more than just a bottle grab—it’s a full-on celebration of Texas whiskey, music, and community.

Now in its fifth annual release, Guadalupe Bourbon is aged four years in new American white oak barrels and finished for two more in rich, tawny port casks. The result? A bold, fruit-forward bourbon with deep crimson color and a flavor that’s smooth as a Hill Country sunset. It’s one of Garrison Brothers’ most sought-after bottles—and for good reason.

But they’re not stopping there. This year, they’re also releasing six different Cask Strength Single Barrels of Guadalupe Bourbon for those who like their whiskey uncut and untamed.

Best of all? This is a free event, open to the public, with no ticket required. Unlike previous years where folks drove through and picked up bottles to go, this release is all about slowing down and soaking it in. Plan to park, hang out, and enjoy everything Garrison Brothers and the Texas Hill Country have to offer.

You can expect:

• Live music throughout the day

• Texas-inspired bites from the Whiskey Shack

• Bourbon cocktails crafted with care

• And of course, a chance to score your own bottle of Guadalupe Bourbon—first come, first served

Proceeds from bottle sales benefit Gulf Trust, supporting conservation efforts along the Texas Coast and Gulf.

So if you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to visit Hye—or just want to be part of a bourbon tradition that keeps getting better with age—this is it.
