Garrison Brothers 2026 Cowboy Bourbon is an exceptionally powerful Texas straight bourbon whiskey bottled at a formidable 141 proof / 70.5% ABV. Part of Garrison Brothers’ most coveted whiskey line, Cowboy Bourbon showcases selected barrels at their natural strength, bottled uncut and unfiltered to retain maximum texture, concentration and barrel character.
Garrison Brothers selects standout barrels as they mature under the intense Texas climate, setting favored casks aside for further aging before marrying them for the final Cowboy Bourbon release. Unlike the distillery’s proofed-down expressions, Cowboy Bourbon is bottled at cask strength without adding water to reduce its proof.
The 2026 edition shown here reaches 141.0 proof, creating a dense, full-bodied sipping experience built for seasoned high-proof bourbon enthusiasts. Expect concentrated notes in the classic Cowboy Bourbon style—dark caramel, brown sugar, toasted oak, baking spice, dark fruit, chocolate and charred wood—wrapped in a long, warming finish.
Presented with a 2026 Cowboy Bourbon medallion and substantial wooden display case, this release is designed for serious Garrison Brothers collectors, rare-bourbon enthusiasts, milestone gifting and premium whiskey displays.

Tasting Notes
Official batch-specific 2026 tasting notes were not yet posted on Garrison Brothers’ public website at the time of verification, so the profile below is a descriptive guide rather than quoted producer notes.
Nose: Dark caramel, toasted oak, brown sugar, dried fruit, cinnamon, cocoa and charred wood.
Palate: Powerful and viscous with caramelized sugar, dark cherry, vanilla, pecan, baking spice, dark chocolate and deeply toasted oak.
Finish: Exceptionally long and warming with lingering caramel, char, cinnamon, dark fruit and barrel spice.
How to Enjoy
Pour a small measure neat into a Glencairn or other tulip-shaped whiskey glass and allow it several minutes to rest. At 141 proof, a few drops of water can significantly change the profile, revealing more caramel, fruit, vanilla and oak while reducing some of the alcohol intensity.
For a slower sip, serve over one large cube. Because of its rarity and extreme proof, this expression is especially suited to deliberate neat pours and comparative barrel-proof tastings rather than high-volume cocktails.
