Texas Bourbon Infused with Honey | 57% ABV | 114 Proof | 750mL | Hye, Texas, USA | French Cognac XO Cask Finish | 2026 Limited Release
Process & Profile
Garrison Brothers Lady Bird Bourbon Whiskey 2026 Release combines Texas bourbon, wildflower honey, and extended Cognac cask maturation. It begins with bourbon aged for four years in new American white oak barrels, followed by an eight- to nine-month infusion with Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey. The honey-infused bourbon then spends another three years in French Cognac XO casks before bottling at 114 proof.
Developed by co-founder Nancy Garrison and Master Distiller Donnis Todd, Lady Bird honors Lady Bird Johnson’s commitment to native plants and environmental conservation. Its profile brings together honey, cocoa, warm pancake notes, and dark fruit, with the Cognac finish contributing cherry, fig, and plum characteristics.
The standard 2026 release comprises 7,000 bottles, each hand-sealed with Prairie Purple wax. Every bottle comes with a complimentary seed packet, adding a thoughtful planting element to its nature-inspired presentation. Garrison Brothers also donates $5 from every Lady Bird bottle sold to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
