Dan Garrison in Hye, Texas was flipping through the local newspaper and noticed yet another vodka distillery opening in Texas. "Why doesn't someone make something that tastes good, like bourbon," Garrison asked his wife. She agreed and suggested he start a distillery. Garrison penned a letter to the Tax and Trade Bureau with one simple question: "Can anyone make Bourbon whiskey in Texas?" The answer that came back was "Yes. You can make Bourbon anywhere in The United States." Garrison broke ground for the distillery in 2004. He applied for the first distiller's permit outside of Kentucky and Tennessee, making Garrison Brothers the oldest legal Bourbon distillery in Texas. The first bottles were sold in 2010. Good Bourbon For A Good Cause is Garrison Brothers' non profit that supports a range of philanthropic activities including supporting Veterans' causes as well as raising money for conservation efforts in Texas. It is the #1 selling Bourbon over $70.00.
