Garrison Brothers, the oldest legal whiskey distillery in Texas, released this year’s edition of its Laguna Madre Texas Straight Bourbon on August 8, 2026 — now in its seventh year. New for this release is a first for the range: a Cask Strength Single Barrel variant, bottled at 135.4 proof, launched alongside the standard release.

Laguna Madre is aged for eight full years: four years in hand-selected white American oak barrels, followed by another four years in rare Limousin oak casks, under the intense heat of the Texas Hill Country. This year’s edition yielded just 3,000 bottles total — the first 1,000 were available at the distillery’s release event, with the remaining 2,000 going to select retail accounts and the distillery’s own e-commerce site starting August 14, 2026.

Garrison Brothers, the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas, released the latest edition of its Laguna Madre Texas Straight Bourbon on August 8, 2026, at the distillery gates in Hye, Texas. This is the seventh edition of the series, and this year also brings a first: a Cask Strength Single Barrel Laguna Madre, bottled at 135.4 proof for collectors.

The standard bourbon spends four years in hand-selected white American oak barrels, then another four years in rare French Limousin oak casks, prized for their rich vanilla character. The result, bottled at 101 proof, offers notes of vanilla, hazelnut, salted caramel and milk chocolate. The 2026 release yielded 3,000 bottles total, with the first 1,000 available at the launch event itself.

Garrison Brothers, the first and oldest legal whiskey distillery in Texas, has announced the release of its 2026 Laguna Madre Texas Straight Bourbon, scheduled for August 8 at the distillery in Hye, Texas. This year’s batch yielded 3,000 bottles total, with the first 1,000 reserved for the release-day event and the remaining 2,000 reaching key retail accounts and the distillery’s e-commerce site starting August 14.

The bourbon is aged for eight full years: four years in hand-selected white American oak barrels, followed by another four years in rare Limousin oak casks, under the intense heat of the Texas Hill Country. The result, bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), carries notes of vanilla bean, hazelnut, saltwater taffy, and milk chocolate.

New this year is a cask strength single barrel version, bottled at 135.4 proof and sold exclusively at the distillery. For American whiskey enthusiasts, releases like this remain an annual highlight, largely thanks to the long aging process and the strictly limited quantities.
