Your friends and family are one-of-a-kind, just like the city of Austin. Therefore, everyone on your holiday lists deserves items that are as unique, authentic, and Texan as ATX.
Keep it close to home this year with a list of gifts that are iconically Austin, from bourbon and bull riding to hotels and help for local musicians.

Garrison Brothers Distillery Texas Small Batch Bourbon
Give the holiday gift of hand-crafted boldness. Garrison Brothers bourbon is rich, smooth, and undeniably satisfying, with flavors that reflect the rugged beauty of Texas and capture the essence of the Lone Star State in every sip.
Crafted with meticulous care and proudly made in the Hill Country, Garrison Brothers is the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history and is one of the first distilleries in America outside of Kentucky to produce authentic, handmade bourbon whiskey — and only bourbon whiskey. They currently have a waitlist of more than 15,000 just to volunteer on bottling days, and their Cowboy Bourbon normally sells out within hours of its release.
Every expression of Garrison Brothers bourbon is made from a sweet mash bill and barrel-aged in the intense Texas climate. The extreme heat creates multiple aging seasons in a year, resulting in a darker, richer, and fuller bourbon — bolder than almost any other bourbon on the market. It's legendary Texas Bourbon, crafted to be savored, celebrated, and shared, making it a great holiday gift for friends and family — or yourself.
