Join us at the distillery on Saturday, April 5th, 2025, at 8:00 AM for the highly anticipated release of the 2025 Garrison Brothers Lady Bird Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey, priced at $179.99 per bottle.

This exceptional bourbon spent four years aging in new charred American white oak barrels before being delicately infused with wildflower honey and finished for three more years in French Cognac XO casks. The result is a smooth, complex masterpiece that’s as elegant as it is unforgettable.

In honor of the natural beauty that inspires us, $5 from every bottle sold will be donated to the Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Center to help preserve the native plants of North America.

This event has been postponed until the Fall. keep an eye out for more details later this year.

Join us for our State & Republic Wheated Bourbon Release on March 29th at the Ranger Creek Distillery.

Our Wheated Bourbon continues our dedication to crafting the best grain-to-glass, authentically-made Texas spirits. A mindset that can be attributed to Texas being one of the only territories to have been both a Republic (1836) and a State (1845).

This resilience of purpose is reflected in our handcrafted process using meticulously sourced Texas grains. Where exacting inputs of ingredients, techniques, and time are calculated to the Nth degree.

This is our story. Spirits as distinctive as the 28th State in the Union.

Award Categories:
Panel Judging – During the event, each team will be asked to provide one sample of their chili for the judges. The judges will be asked to select the best tasting chili from all the entries. Each chili will be judged based on the following criteria on a five-point scale:

1. Color - Chili should look appetizing. A reddish brown appearance is generally traditional and expected.
2. Aroma - Chili should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it.
3. Consistency - Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy. Ideally, it should be thick enough to eat with a fork.
4. Taste - Taste, above all else, is the most important factor. The taste should consist of the combination of the meat, spices, etc. with no particular dominant ingredient.
5. Aftertaste - The aftertaste, or bite, is the heat created by the various types of spices and/or peppers.
