Quick Facts: ABV: 47.5% (95 proof)  |  Origin: North Carolina, USA  |  Straight Bourbon  |  Distillery: Southern Distilling Company

Production & Heritage

Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain Bourbon is distilled at Southern Distilling Company in North Carolina using Vendome copper stills in both column and pot still configurations. The four-grain mashbill — 70.5% corn, 14.7% rye, 9% wheat, and 5.8% malted barley — is entirely sourced from farms practicing regenerative agriculture within a 20-mile radius of the distillery, a program designed around soil health and long-term sustainability. After distillation, the spirit matures in new charred American oak barrels, which contribute the toasted oak and vanilla backbone that anchors the finished bourbon.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Toasted grain and mellow vanilla lead the nose, followed by layers of oak and subtle orchard fruit. There is a quiet sweetness underneath, suggesting honey and ripe stone fruit.

Taste: The entry is soft and lightly sugared, giving way to a tremendously textured mid-palate of peach preserves, honey, and vanilla bean. Bittersweet chocolate emerges alongside baking spice, cayenne tingle, and allspice as the bourbon develops toward its peak, with earthy grain notes grounding each sip.

Finish: Long and warming, with espresso bitterness weaving through lingering baking spice and a dry, clean close. The cayenne heat recedes slowly, leaving behind toasted oak and a faint sweetness.

How to Drink Regenerative Grain Bourbon

At 95 proof, this bourbon has enough structure to drink neat or with a single ice cube; a small splash of water opens up the peach and chocolate notes on the mid-palate. It also holds its own in spirit-forward cocktails:

• Old Fashioned — The four-grain complexity and baking spice stand up beautifully to bitters and a sugar cube without losing nuance.
• Boulevardier — Chocolate and espresso tones in the bourbon complement sweet vermouth and Campari for a deeply layered drink.
• Gold Rush — The honey and orchard fruit character harmonizes with fresh lemon juice and honey syrup for a bright, balanced pour.

Best For

• Side-by-side tastings comparing four-grain mashbills to traditional high-rye or wheated bourbons

Both bourbons include wheat in their mashbills and both brands have invested in regenerative agriculture, but Brother's Bond uses a four-grain recipe (corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley) at a higher 95 proof, resulting in a spicier, more texturally complex profile than Maker's Mark's softer, lower-proof wheated style.

Where is Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain made? It is distilled at Southern Distilling Company in North Carolina on Vendome copper stills, using regenerative grains grown on farms within 20 miles of the distillery.

What foods pair well with Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain? Dark chocolate truffles echo the bourbon's bittersweet cocoa notes; smoked pork shoulder complements its baking spice and earthy grain; stone fruit cobbler mirrors the peach preserves character; aged Gouda amplifies the caramel and vanilla; and pecan pie matches its toasted oak sweetness.

What sizes does Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain come in? The standard release is a 750ML bottle.

Is Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain worth the price? Positioned in the premium tier at around the $60 mark, it justifies that price through its SFWSC Gold medal, four-grain mashbill, and genuine regenerative grain sourcing — a combination few competitors can match at this level.

Why Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain?

This bourbon's strongest claim is straightforward: it is among the first American bourbons produced entirely from regenerative grains, all grown within 20 miles of where the spirit is distilled. That provenance story is backed by tangible quality — a Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a four-grain mashbill that delivers uncommon textural depth. The 70.5% corn, 14.7% rye, 9% wheat, and 5.8% malted barley recipe creates a layered bourbon that balances sweetness, spice, and earthy complexity in a way that single-mashbill bourbons rarely achieve. For drinkers who care as much about where their grain comes from as how it tastes in the glass, this expression sets a new benchmark in the category.
