Brother's Bond American Blended Rye Whiskey (750Ml)

Description

Brother's Bond American Blended Rye Whiskey is a bold, modern take on American whiskey. Actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley created the brand. Fans know them as the Salvatore brothers from "The Vampire Diaries." The company, Brother's Bond Distilling Company, is based in Columbia, Tennessee. This rye is their pick for people who like spice with a rich, creamy side.

The recipe blends whiskey from four separate mash bills. Together they come to 77% rye, 16% corn, and 7% wheat and barley. Each part ages at least four years in new, deep-charred oak barrels. The barrels are then blended in small batches. It is bottled at 95 proof, or 47.5% ABV. In the glass it shows a dark gold color.

The nose is big and bold, with bright rye spice up front. Candied fruit and caramel follow close behind. On the palate the body feels rich, creamy, and full. The brand points to caramel cream, dried raisin, and ripe pineapple. Herbal hints of mint and rose petal add a fresh lift. A touch of port wine and grape gives it depth. The finish is long and warm, with cinnamon, brown sugar, and charred wood. Even the empty glass smells of beeswax, says the brand.

You can enjoy this rye in many ways. Sip it neat to find every layer. A large ice cube cools it and softens the spice a little. It also makes a strong base for cocktails. Try it in a Rye Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. The brand also shares a Pear Tree Martini if you want something different.

Food pairing is easy. Try it with grilled steak or barbecue ribs. A board of cured meats and cheese works well too. For dessert, reach for pecan pie, dark chocolate, or bread pudding. The whiskey's mix of spice and sweetness suits both sides of the menu.

Brother's Bond made this bottle for rye fans and newcomers alike. If you love a spicy, fruit-forward rye, it is well worth a pour. If you want a light, mild spirit or a smoky Scotch, you may want to look elsewhere.
