Brother's Bond 7 Year Bottled In Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Straight Bourbon | 50% ABV | 100 Proof | 750mL | USA | Aged 7 Years | Bottled in Bond | Non-Chill Filtered

Process & Profile

Brother's Bond 7 Year Bottled In Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey combines extended aging with a distinctive high-rye recipe. From the brand founded by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, this expression uses an officially confirmed mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted rye. The inclusion of malted rye gives buyers a clear point of difference from bourbons made with malted barley.

Aged for at least seven years in a federally bonded warehouse, this bourbon exceeds the bottled-in-bond aging minimum by three years. Its production follows the designation’s requirements for a single distiller, one distillery, and one distilling season, with bottling at exactly 100 proof.

Deeply charred barrels contribute to its oak character, while non-chill filtration is another defining production detail. The resulting profile balances caramel and dried-fruit aromas with butterscotch, maple syrup, and gentle baking spice, making it an appealing option for drinkers who enjoy sweetness alongside rye-driven warmth.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Vanilla, toasted oak, and caramel, with dried fruit and subtle baking spices.

• Palate: Butterscotch and toffee with maple-like sweetness, followed by cinnamon and nutmeg.

• Finish: Long and warming, carrying lingering oak, vanilla, and caramel.

What Makes It Special

• Seven-year maturation: Three years beyond the minimum aging required for bottled-in-bond whiskey.

• Distinctive grain recipe: Corn, rye, and malted rye form a three-grain bourbon mash bill.

• Bottled-in-bond designation: Connects the whiskey to defined production, maturation, and bottling standards.

• Non-chill filtered: Retains this important detail of the producer’s bottling approach.

• Deep barrel char: A central part of the expression’s maturation profile.

• 2024 ASCOT recognition: Earned Double Platinum at the 2024 ASCOT Awards.

How to Enjoy

Try it neat in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass to explore the dried fruit, oak, and baking spice. Add a few drops of water or a large ice cube to adjust the intensity to your preference.

For cocktails, consider an Old Fashioned with restrained sweetness so the bourbon’s toffee and rye spice remain prominent. Toasted pecans or dark chocolate also make useful pairing options.
