Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bourbon for the friend who reads the back label and likes what they find there. Distilled from a high-rye mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted barley, aged a minimum of six years in new charred oak and bottled at 100 proof under the standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, it carries real structure without losing its generosity. Expect candied plums and cherries on the nose, then raisin, fig jam, butterscotch and maple on the palate, with cinnamon, nutmeg and a savory touch of saddle leather keeping the sweetness in check. The finish is long and warming, closing on oak, vanilla and a hint of mint. Created by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley and recognized with a Double Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, it makes a considered gift for a promotion, a milestone birthday or Father's Day. Your recipient can savor it neat, over one large cube, or stirred into an Old Fashioned.

What does it taste like?
The palate opens with candied dark fruits like raisins and fig jam, followed by butterscotch, toffee and maple syrup. Cinnamon and nutmeg emerge mid-palate, with saddle leather and smoky notes balancing the sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with oak, vanilla, caramel and a touch of mint.
Who created Brother's Bond, and has this bottling won any awards?
Brother's Bond was created by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. This Bottled in Bond Bourbon earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a nice detail to mention on a gift card.
How should the recipient drink it?
Neat is the best way to appreciate its complexity and long finish. A single large ice cube softens the spice and highlights caramel, brown sugar and fruit, while a few drops of water open up floral and herbal nuances. It also shines in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
