Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This extra smooth bourbon was created by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, known as "The Salvatore Brothers" from the famed TV series The Vampire Diaries. The true bonds of their friendship were forged while drinking bourbon, both on and off-screen, for over a decade.

These 'brothers' dreamed of making their own bourbon and how they wanted it to taste — easy to drink and smooth on the tongue, like a big warm hug of robust flavours.

What they came up with was a four-grain, high rye bourbon whiskey: 68% corn, 22% rye, wheat and barley. It's distilled in a copper column and copper pot-doubler.

Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged a minimum of 4 years in virgin American oak.

(**Whiskey Nerd Alert** barrel staves #4 char; barrel heads #2 char).

Nose: Stone fruits and clover, slight banana peel with tobacco lurking in the background.

Palate: Christmas spice on the palate, especially nutmeg and clove. The back palate morphs into traditional honey and vanillans.

Finish: Spices continue through the finish with a slight but telltale tannin tightness.
