Garrison Brothers announced the \u003cstrong data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"499\"\u003e2026 Lady Bird\u003c\/strong\u003e release on \u003cstrong data-start=\"511\" data-end=\"529\"\u003eMarch 10, 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e, noting that a \u003cstrong data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"612\"\u003elimited number of Lady Bird Cask Strength Single Barrel bottles\u003c\/strong\u003e would be available at the distillery’s April 4 release event in Hye, Texas.

Garrison Brothers’ official Lady Bird page calls it “our most sophisticated and elegant bourbon ever made,” while 2026 release coverage explains that the whiskey starts as Garrison Brothers Small Batch, is then infused with honey, and spends additional time in Cognac XO casks before bottling. The cask-strength single-barrel version takes that same concept and pushes it into a more concentrated, more powerful register through barrel-proof presentation. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"2565\"\u003eOn the nose and palate, the core 2026 Lady Bird profile is described by release coverage as showing \u003cstrong data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003efreshly cut grass, sweet Texas honey, black cocoa waffle cone, and honey wafers\u003c\/strong\u003e on the nose, followed by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1990\" data-end=\"2073\"\u003ewarm buckwheat pancakes, dark chocolate-covered cherries, and malted milk balls\u003c\/strong\u003e on the palate. The finish is noted for \u003cstrong data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2162\"\u003ecognac-soaked cherries, dried figs, and plums\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the whiskey a richer, more dessert-like profile than a traditional straight bourbon while still preserving a polished, fruit-and-spice structure. In the cask-strength format, retailer descriptions say those signature Lady Bird notes become more explosive, with \u003cstrong data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003erich wildflower honey, dark cherry, and baking spices\u003c\/strong\u003e intensified by the higher proof. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2567\" data-end=\"3224\"\u003eWhat makes \u003cstrong data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2652\"\u003eGarrison Brothers Lady Bird Cask Strength Single Barrel Bourbon (2026)\u003c\/strong\u003e especially compelling is the way it combines \u003cstrong data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2769\"\u003eTexas swagger, limited single-barrel scarcity, and luxury finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e in one bottle. You get the floral sweetness and Cognac-derived fruit of Lady Bird, but in a stronger, more contemplative format that should appeal to both Garrison Brothers collectors and high-proof bourbon enthusiasts.
