Brother's Bond Original Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesley)
In stock
A cask strength straight bourbon from Brother’s Bond, this Original Cask Strength expression is bottled at around 57–58% ABV and produced from a four-grain mash bill of corn, rye, wheat and barley. Each batch is created by selecting and blending around 70 barrels, matured for a minimum of four years in charred American oak and bottled uncut and unfiltered.
The high-strength bottling delivers a full, layered profile, with caramel, honey and dried fruit supported by vanilla, spice and toasted oak, alongside hints of walnut, leather and subtle smoke. The long maturation in heavily charred barrels adds depth and structure, giving the whiskey a rich, bold character suited to sipping neat or with a little water.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper edges and a honey-gold glow, rich and inviting.
Nose
Powerful, inviting nose of caramel and honey, unfolding into dried fruits and vanilla. Rich toffee, toasted oak and a touch of walnut frame the aroma, while warm spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—bring subtle heat. A whisper of leather and smoke lingers from the charred oak, signaling the bold, layered profile poised to follow on the palate.
Palate
Full-bodied, uncut and unfiltered on the palate, caramel and honey lead into dried fruit with vanilla and spice, all framed by toasted oak. Walnut and leather notes surface with a subtle smoke, delivering a warming, long finish.
Finish
Long, bold finish that lingers with caramel and honey, balanced by dried fruit and vanilla. Spices unfold from the heavily charred oak, while walnut and leather add depth. A subtle wisp of smoke threads through the tail, leaving a warm, resinous dryness that persists, underscoring the whiskey’s rich, full-bodied character.
