Texas-based Garrison Brothers Distillery announced the 2025 release of its annual Lady Bird expression, beginning on April 5. 

First released in 2023, this limited expression is inspired by the legacy of its namesake, Lady Bird Johnson, and honors her commitment to the environment and Texas native wildflowers. 

This year’s release yielded a total of 7,110  bottles. On Saturday April 5, the first 1,000 bottles of the 2025 expression will be available, first come first served at the distillery starting at 8AM. With every Lady Bird purchase, Garrison Brothers donates $5 to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, located in Austin, Texas.

Lady Bird, Texas honey-infused cognac-finished bourbon, starts its life as Small Batch that is aged for 4 years in new white American oak barrels before being infused with Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey for an additional 8-9 months, creating the exquisite cask strength HoneyDew. The bourbon is then transferred into French Cognac XO casks to mature for an additional 3 years. It is bottled at 114 proof, and each bottle is hand-sealed with a delightful Prairie Purple wax.

The creation of the expression is a testament to the dedication and passion of Garrison Brothers co-founder, Nancy Garrison, and Master Distiller Donnis Todd. Since its first release in 2023, Garrison Brothers has donated over $67,000.00 to the non-profit organization directly from Lady Bird bottle sales. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center will host an informational tent available for guests to learn more about their work at the distillery release day event on Saturday April 5, 2025.

“Our Garrison Brothers Lady Bird bourbon continues to honor the work of Lady Bird Johnson and the many gifts she gave us,” Garrison said in a news release. “We are thrilled to be able to help fund special programs at The Lady Bird Wildflower Center through the upcoming release. This bourbon embodies delicious notes of wildflower honey along with the delicate floral flavors.” 

As part of ongoing local community support, Garrison Brothers is also the presenting sponsor for the LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour 2025 that also takes place on April 2, 2025. The historic ride takes place throughout Texas Hill Country.

After April 5, the remaining 6,110 bottles will be available for online purchase by May, and distributed to retail, restaurant and bar accounts nationwide. Lady Bird’s suggested retail price is $179.99.
