Eric LeGrand Bourbon has launched a limited-edition single barrel bourbon, marking its first release of this kind since the brand's inception in March 2023. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at a robust 104 proof and features a complex flavor profile, including notes of vanilla, orange peel, soft oak, and a hint of black cherry. The proof is a nod to Eric LeGrand's football jersey — number 52 — during his time at Rutgers University.
Eric LeGrand Bourbon also commits a portion of its limited-edition single barrel bourbon, $5.20 for every case sold, to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, which aids those affected by paralysis and works towards spinal cord injury research. As such, consumers may find this bourbon appealing not only for its distinctive flavor and higher proof but also for its philanthropic angle.
