The Brothers Bond Cask Strength is the raw, uncut, unfiltered expression of their bourbon, showcasing the full power, intensity, and character of their barrel selection. At barrel proof ( 115.8 proof / 57.9% ABV), it delivers richer flavors, more depth, and greater boldness than the standard expression. Its built for whiskey enthusiasts who want to experience the spirit in its most potent form, and who enjoy dialing in dilution themselves for balance.

• Mash bill: 65% corn, 22% rye, 13% wheat & barley.

• The bourbon is sourced from Indiana.

• Aging: minimum 4 years in virgin American oak with typical char levels (char #4 on staves, #2 on heads).

• Proof / ABV: Bottled around 115.8 proof / 57.9% ABV in many releases.

Food & Pairings

• Neat / Serving: Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas. Because its high proof, dilution can help reveal subtler layers.

• Food Pairings:
  Dark chocolate or chocolate with nuts to echo the dried fruit and walnut tones
  Smoked or roasted meats (beef, pork, game) to match char and oak character
  Aged cheeses, toasted nuts, or charcuterie boards
  Soups or stews with earthy / savory depth (e.g. mushroom, truffle)
