Great distillery! A lot more rustic and easy going than some of the ones along the Bourbon Trail like Buffalo Trace. The tour was awesome, staff were super nice and helpful. Gift shop is cute, and they are dog friendly :)

Took the tour today and it was awesome. Their enthusiasm for Texas bourbon makes you want to buy a bottle then fill out an application to work there. Very informative staff and always willing to answer questions.

We had a blast here. The drinks were excellent and the staff was just as good. The facility was clean, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the restrooms were exquisite. There was ample room for us to be socially distanced. We would love to return soon. Thanks Diane.Update: Still a classic. Everything is still fantastic. They lost a few trees, but they have since planted several new ones. There are several exclusive drinks at the distillery. We will be back for sure.

thoroughly enjoyed the tour! It happens on Wednesdays. (I don't know If it happens on other days). I definitely recommend going here on the weekends, but the Wednesday tour is like the unknown gem of this distillery. I love information. (knowledge is power) this tour gives you everything you want to know about the distillery business but makes it fun. Trying samples of the different stages of the process is unique and adds a little cherry on top. Everyone doing the tour was very friendly and didn't mind answering my weird and hopefully not too stupid questions. This was alot of fun and I want to say thank you to everyone who put on the tour. Especially Amy.I don't leave many reviews, but I had to for this experience. I'm gonna take everyone from out of town and my family on the tour. I definitely hope some of you read this and decide to take the tour. It's so cool!

Our group of 10 had the lovely pleasure of touring the distillery with Amy and Sandra and they were an absolute blast! So knowledgeable and passionate about the craft, you feel it during the entire tour. The Bourbon is as special as the people who still it and boy is it good. 10/10 would recommend anyone take the trip to this beautiful place. Will absolutely be back!

We had a great time on the bourbon tasting tour at Garrison Brothers. It was a bit chilly for the trailer ride up to the distillery but they provided blankets. Nice touch! We got to sample the bourbon through the various stages during the tour and the final product at the end. Yummy!

My wife set up weekend trip to the hill country for my birthday and a tour of the distillery was on the agenda. I loved it. We will definitely come back because it was a great time. We even signed up to volunteer at the distillery. Let’s hope that works out. 🤞

The most friendly and laid back crew. Mushroom Bourbon burger was out of this world and so were the tacos. Came home with great merch. The frozen Dr. Pepper with your Bourbon was soooooo good. Didn't have time for a tour but next time!!!!
