NOW PLAYING ON

When Dan Garrison founded Garrison Brothers Distillery in the mid-2000's, everyone told him that making bourbon whiskey in Texas was an impossible dream. Bourbon was on the decline, and beyond that, could only be made in the state of Kentucky.

Dan proved everyone wrong…

Cowboy Bourbon tells the unlikely tale of how a small distillery in the heart of Texas Hill Country ignited a nationwide movement in craft distilling. It's the story of grit, determination, and refusing to compromise on the singular goal to make the best bourbon whiskey in the world.

  • "There's a reason there wasn't a bourbon distillery outside of Kentucky since prohibition- you have to be crazy to do this!"

    Nancy Garrison

  • "You know, I think I was just too damn stupid to realize how hard it was going to be to make bourbon in Texas."

    Dan Garrison

  • “Never tell a Texan he can't do something, because he just won't stop. He's like a dog with a bone then."
