Brother’s Bond Bourbon, founded by actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, announced the release of its newest expression, Brother’s Bond 7-Year Old Bottled In Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey. 

Crafted to meet the strict standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, their Bottled in Bond is now available in retailers nationwide and online via ReserveBar.

This expression joins the brand’s growing portfolio of award-winning whiskies. With a focus on creating exceptional whiskies, Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey has already received top accolades in 2024, earning the coveted Double Platinum at the 2024 ASCOT Awards, and taking home Double Gold at both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (98 points) and New York International Spirits Competition (96 points).

Distilled in pre-Prohibition history, the Bottle in Bond designation for spirits requires the expression to be bottled at exactly 100 proof, by one distiller at a single distillery in one season, and aged in a federally bonded warehouse for a minimum of four years – Brother’s Bond Bottled in Bond is aged for seven years.

“The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was one of the first consumer protection laws in the United States–it allowed Americans to be assured they were consuming a quality product made to the strictest standards,” Somerhalder said in a news release. “Our Bottled in Bond expression which has been aged over 7 years follows this same 100+ year tradition to create a superior bourbon that we can’t wait to share with fans across the world.”

Brother’s Bond Bottled In Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the brand’s first high-rye, three-grain bourbon mash bill – made with 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted rye. As a high rye bourbon, with a deep barrel char, non-chill filtered, and aged for a minimum of seven years, Brother’s Bond Bottled in Bond is a very complex, rich, and balanced expression that is full of character. 

“We are so proud to be able to bring this product to whiskey enthusiasts, expanding our portfolio of expressions,” Wesley added. “Bottled in Bond is the epitome of what we strive for as a brand—unrivaled quality while paying homage to the rich heritage and tradition of American whiskey-making.”

Brother’s Bond Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey  has an SRP of $59.99 MSRP.
