Brother’s Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey Four Grain•High Rye

Brother's Bond is a four-grain straight bourbon whiskey created by actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley — the "Salvatore Brothers" of The Vampire Diaries — built on a high-rye mash bill of 65% corn and 22% rye with wheat and malted barley rounding out the recipe, bottled at 80 proof.

The four-grain build is the defining feature: well above the 51% corn minimum at 65%, with the rye dialed up to 22% for added spice, while the wheat contributes a softer texture and the malted barley brings nutty, caramel notes. The result is a balanced, easy-drinking bourbon designed to be enjoyed neat.
