Brother’s Bond Encourages Regeneratively Farmed Grain For Whiskey
In celebration of Earth Month, Brother’s Bond Bourbon has announced a new campaign underlining regenerative agriculture. This follows on Maker’s Mark introducing its new Star Hill brand earlier this month, which is also tied to regenerative farming practices.
Founded by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley in 2021, Brother’s Bond is centered on creating exceptional whiskey while preserving the planet for future generations and striving to transition the bourbon-making process to 100% regenerative practices. Brother’s Bond is committed to supporting the transition of U.S. farmland to regenerative agricultural practices, with a goal of reaching 100 million acres by 2030.
Brother’s Bond Regenerative Grain Straight Bourbon, crafted with regenerative grains grown within 20 miles of the North Carolina distillery, is taking center stage this April. This small-batch, award-winning release is a blend of a nuanced three-year bourbon and a distinct six-year wheated bourbon, aged using custom toast and char methods to create a rich, expressive flavor. This limited-release bourbon remains one of the first bourbons in the U.S. crafted with regenerative grains and represents a meaningful step in the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
“To us, bourbon is about more than flavor—it’s about legacy and impact,” said Ian Somerhalder, co-founder of Brother’s Bond Bourbon. “Regenerative farming isn’t just an agricultural shift—it’s a hopeful solution to the climate crisis. By caring for the land and supporting the farmers who steward it, we’re creating a richer, more meaningful whiskey experience—one that preserves the earth for future generations. Every sip connects us to something bigger, and every pour is a step toward something better.”
Since its founding, Brother’s Bond has proudly supported Kiss the Ground, a non-profit championing regeneration and healthy soil as a solution to our wellness, water, and climate crisis. The brand has donated a portion of every bottle sold to advance soil health and is honored to collaborate with partners like Kiss the Ground to be part of a broader movement helping over 36 million U.S. acres transition to regenerative practices.\
Brother’s Bond Regenerative Grain Straight Bourbon is priced at $59.99 and bottled at 95 proof.
