Sips & Sites & Bites

If you’ve ever wished your bourbon could taste as good as it makes you feel, this one’s for you. Just in time for Earth Month, Brother’s Bond Bourbon … yes, the one founded by on-screen vampires and real-life whiskey lovers Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley … is pouring purpose into every bottle with their Regenerative Grain Straight Bourbon.

And let me tell you, this limited-edition release feels like sitting around a crackling fire under the stars with your favorite people. It’s warm, comforting, and just the right amount of smoky sweet.

The sip that warms like a campfire

Right out of the bottle, the color draws you in … deep caramel amber that catches the light like golden hour in the woods. One swirl, and you’re met with an aroma that’s all cozy nostalgia: caramel, toasted oak, and that soft sweetness that promises something good is coming.

And then comes the sip. Oh, the taste. Imagine roasted marshmallows slowly melting over a fire, a hint of seasoned oak from a well-loved log cabin, and a touch of buttered corn that brings it all down to earth. It’s layered, but never overwhelming. The vanilla glaze note hits just right, tying everything together like your favorite flannel blanket.

The finish? Lingering. Warm. Gentle. Like the last embers of a perfect night. You don’t even need a glass for the encore, let it sit empty, and it’s still sublime.

More than a bourbon, it’s a movement

But here’s what makes this bottle really stand out: it’s not just good whiskey. It’s good for the planet.

This isn’t your average limited release. The Regenerative Grain Straight Bourbon is crafted using grains grown within 20 miles of their North Carolina distillery, grains farmed using regenerative agriculture, a soil-first method that actually helps reverse climate change. Brother’s Bond has teamed up with Kiss the Ground (the non-profit behind the documentaries Kiss the Ground and Common Ground) to support this movement, aiming to transition 100 million acres to regenerative practices by 2030.

They’re healing the earth, one sip at a time.

A toast to Earth month (and really good whiskey)

This Earth Month, Brother’s Bond is going full out. From eco-conscious cocktail creations like the Espresso Regentini (made with regenerative coffee, of course) to the Carbon Capture Cold Brew, they’re proving that sustainable sipping can also be seriously delicious.

On April 22nd, you can even catch a live Q&A with the Common Ground filmmakers on YouTube before streaming the doc (plus Kiss the Ground) on Amazon Prime. A perfect pairing with your bourbon pour, if you ask us.

Where to find it

With a $59.99 MSRP and 95 proof, this release is available now at major retailers including Spec’s (as part of their “Healthy Soil, Healthy Planet” campaign), Total Wine, GoPuff, BevMo!, and more. So whether you’re planning a back porch nightcap or a nature-inspired dinner party, you can sip sustainably wherever you shop.

Final thoughts

Brother’s Bond Regenerative Grain Bourbon isn’t just a whiskey … it’s a story. A warm, oak-laced story told by firelight, with purpose in every drop. If you’re looking for a pour that feels as good as it tastes, and stands for something bigger than the bottle, this one’s got your name on it.
