Brother’s Bond American Blended Rye Whiskey (Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesley)

American Blended Rye Whiskey | 47.5% ABV (95 Proof) | 750 mL | Four-Grain Blend | Aged Minimum 4 Years

Process & Profile

Brother’s Bond American Blended Rye Whiskey is a four-grain, small-batch style rye created by Brother’s Bond (founded by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley). It’s positioned as a bolder, spice-forward pour than the brand’s bourbon, built to deliver classic rye intensity while keeping a smooth, creamy texture.

It’s bottled at 95 proof and described as a “four-grain blended rye,” with a final mash bill commonly listed as 77% rye and 16% corn, with wheat and barley making up the remainder. The whiskey is aged in new, deep-charred oak barrels for a minimum of four years, giving it extra structure, darker sweetness, and a longer finish than younger rye pours.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich caramel cream, dried raisin/candied fruit, rose petals and mint

• Palate: Bright fruit with a soft creamy note, warming spice, charred oak depth

• Finish: Warm, spicy, caramelized, and oak-driven with an extra-long fade

What Makes It Special

• Founded by Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesley, with a strong collector/gifting following

• 95 proof for fuller body and better cocktail structure than standard 80-proof rye

• Four-grain rye blend with a rye-forward backbone and a creamier texture

• Minimum 4 years aged in deep-charred oak for added richness and a longer finish

• Great for customers who want a rye that drinks bold but still feels smooth

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat to catch the caramel-and-mint lift, or pour over one large cube to soften the spice and pull forward sweeter notes. It’s also a strong cocktail rye—excellent in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan-style build where the rye spice needs to stay present.
