Garrison Brothers Red, White & Blue Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
47% ABV (94 proof) | 750mL | Wheated straight bourbon | Red, white & blue wax-dipped bottle | Hye, Texas | 2025 release — Garrison Brothers Red, White & Blue Small Batch is the distillery's beloved wheated small-batch bourbon — 74% corn, 15% wheat, 11% malted barley, sweet-mash distilled — dressed for the Fourth in a hand-dipped red, white, and blue wax bottle. Released in 2025 ahead of National Bourbon Day and July 4th, it's the same 94-proof bourbon as the standard Small Batch; only the packaging is special. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The bottle carries a cause: the release is tied to Garrison Brothers' annual Red, White & Bourbon charity event, with a portion of sales supporting veteran causes including the Admiral Nimitz Foundation and the National Museum of the Pacific War. Some bottles were hand-dipped by veterans themselves and carry commemorative military dog tags — and Master Distiller Donnis Todd is a U.S. Air Force veteran. From the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas (est. 2006), this is Texas bourbon with a mission. SRP $79.99.
