Laguna Madre Annual Release Party – Garrison Brothers Distillery, Hye, TX
It’s finally here. On Saturday, September 6, 2025, Garrison Brothers is rolling out the red carpet for their most anticipated release of the year: Laguna Madre.
This ultra-premium bourbon spends four years in new American white oak, then another four years in French Limousin oak—nearly a decade of aging that produces a rich, creamy whiskey layered with notes of woody vanilla, sweet cacao, and velvety white chocolate. It’s as decadent as Texas bourbon gets.
The release party runs from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Hye distillery. Alongside the bottle drop, expect a full day of fun:
Fresh oysters on the half shell from Key Allegro Oyster Co.
Live music from the Jeff Jacobs Band and Noah Kurtis Band
Cocktails and neat pours at the Whiskey Shack
Proceeds supporting FlatsWorthy, a nonprofit improving the health and productivity of Texas Bays.
