Garrison Brothers Hazmat 'Hye Heat Edition V' Single Barrel Cask Strength Texas Straight Bourbon

Crafted deep in the heart of Hye, Texas, Garrison Brothers Hazmat ‘Hye Heat Edition V’ is a blazing expression of cask strength bourbon that captures the bold spirit of the Lone Star State. Hand-selected by Master Distiller Donnis Todd, this single barrel release pushes intensity to the limit with an astonishing 71.8% ABV, offering a rare opportunity to taste bourbon at its purest and most unrestrained form. Every bottle is a reflection of the Texas climate, with scorching summers and cool nights contributing to the robust flavor development in the barrel.

The palate erupts with deep layers of dark toffee, scorched oak, cracked black pepper, and burnt caramel, followed by bursts of cinnamon bark, molasses, and vanilla bean. The heat builds in waves, wrapping around bold notes of tobacco leaf and charred pecan before settling into a long, satisfying finish with a smoky sweetness. Made from a grain bill of corn, red winter wheat, and barley, this bourbon showcases the rich, grain-forward profile Garrison Brothers is known for, amplified by the extremes of Texas weather.

Best enjoyed with reverence, Hazmat ‘Hye Heat’ is not for the faint of heart. Sip it neat in small pours to experience the full intensity, or add a drop or two of water to open up the dense aromatics and reveal a deeper complexity. This limited edition release is a collector's gem and a fiery celebration of Texas craft bourbon at its most unfiltered and unapologetic.
