Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey is elegant and exceptionally smooth, complex and balanced taste with a touch of sweetness and spice. Aromas of baked banana bread, jammy ripe fruit with walnuts and orange honey. Taste of rich dried fruit and honey sweetness emerges, accompanied by hints of black tea and warm rye spice. The toasted cereal grains are rounded out with notes of honeysuckle. Finish of fresh cut oak is energetic and smooth with perfectly balanced warm spice.

Tasting Panel
A blend of three mash bills creates this four-grain straight bourbon whiskey, which actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley named for the bond they developed while working together on The Vampire Diaries. Scents of caraway, leather, and orange peel are inviting. Distinguished notes of brown-sugared peach and white pepper surround astringent tannins as a striking spiced-peach flavor is enveloped by maple richness on the oatmeal finish.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
