Founded in 1976 on the Texas High Plains near Lubbock, Llano Estacado Winery has a storied history. The company has been making great wines for more than three decades. They called Garrison Brothers in 2015 and asked if they would consider a collaboration and the distillery jumped at the chance. Ten 15-gallon barrels that had held straight bourbon for four years were poured into eight large Port Wine barrels for finishing. Every three months after that, Master Distiller Donnis Todd dutifully tasted samples from each of the barrels. After two years, the newest of the Garrison Brothers Handcrafted Experimentals Collection was born.
The blend of aging in white American oak barrels and finishing in Llano Estacado Port Wine French oak casks combine to produce a dreamy and mesmerizing golden honey colored bourbon. You can get your hands on this golden ambrosia at the Garrison Brothers Distillery Bottle Shop.
