Brother's Bond heading to UK

Brother’s Bond, the bourbon brand co-founded by stars of the hit television series The Vampire Diaries, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, has been a huge success since its foundation.

The latest milestone for the bourbon brand has been achieved, with its official launch in the UK, introducing its impressive and sustainability-focused whisky portfolio to a whole new audience.

The brand is raising money to support regenerative farming initiatives through every bottle sold, and is working to expand the use of regenerative grain across its whiskey-making process. This approach extends to a recent portfolio-wide packaging redesign, reducing the brand’s carbon footprint while still delivering shelf visibility.

Somerhalder serves as blending master for the whisky, overseeing the mash bill development, barrel selection and final blends, while Wesley works closely with him on flavour direction, brand creative voice and the strategy for portfolio long-term.

The portfolio that UK fans can expect includes:

  • Brother’s Bond Straight Bourbon (40% ABV) Balanced and rounded, with notes of baked banana bread, honeysuckle, black tea spice and toasted cereal.
  • Brother's Bond American Blended Rye Whiskey (47.5% ABV) Notes of caramel cream, ripe pineapple, delicate mint and rose petals and warm cinnamon through a long, expressive finish.
  • Brother’s Bond Bottled in Bond 7 Year Old Straight Bourbon (50% ABV) Has aromas of vanilla, toasted oak and sweet caramel and butterscotch, with maple syrup and gentle spiciness on the palate.
  • Brother’s Bond Regenerative Grain Straight Bourbon (46% ABV) Offers notes of honeyed cornbread, warming vanilla, light florals and a warming finish.
