A High-Proof Bourbon with Depth and Character
Eric LeGrand Single Barrel Bourbon is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that stands out for its 104-proof strength and carefully curated flavor profile. Distilled at the renowned Green River Distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky, the bourbon goes through an aging process in meticulously toasted and charred oak barrels. These barrels infuse the spirit with layered notes of vanilla, orange peel, and soft oak, rounded out by a subtle hint of black cherry. The bourbon's proof—52% ABV—pays homage to Eric LeGrand's jersey number (#52) from his time playing football at Rutgers University, bringing a personal touch to the release.

Eric LeGrand has spoken passionately about this new release, emphasizing its appeal to bourbon enthusiasts who appreciate high-proof spirits. LeGrand shared that his goal was to offer a unique tasting experience specifically crafted for the holiday season. "We were able to experiment with a single barrel bourbon that’ll win over bourbon drinkers," he stated, emphasizing the blend’s richness and depth. By crafting a single-barrel bourbon, LeGrand and Axelrod have created a limited-edition spirit that stands apart in a competitive market and appeals to collectors and connoisseurs alike.
A Gift That Gives Back
Beyond offering a unique tasting experience, Eric LeGrand Single Barrel Bourbon is also a product with a purpose. A portion of every sale goes to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, a cause close to LeGrand's heart. This foundation supports individuals affected by paralysis and funds research for spinal cord injury cures. Specifically, $5.20 from each case sold is donated to the foundation, reinforcing LeGrand’s commitment to advocating for and supporting those with spinal injuries. Through this contribution, the brand aims to make each bottle purchased a part of something bigger, creating an opportunity for consumers to support an important cause.
