Brother's Bond  - Modern American Bourbon Built on Friendship, Craft & Balance

History

Brother’s Bond Bourbon was founded by lifelong friends and actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, united by a shared passion for bourbon, craftsmanship, and meaningful connection. Named after the “brother’s bond” that forms during great moments shared over a glass, the brand launched with a clear mission: to create a premium, approachable Kentucky bourbon that brings people together.

From its inception, Brother’s Bond has positioned itself as a modern bourbon brand, respectful of tradition yet accessible, contemporary, and community-driven. In a short time, it has earned a strong following among both casual bourbon drinkers and enthusiasts seeking balance over intensity.

Distilling Process

MGP is renowned for producing high-quality bourbon and rye whiskey for many of the world’s most successful premium brands. Brother’s Bond sources its whiskey from MGP and then works closely with experienced blenders to shape the final flavour profile before bottling under the Brother’s Bond name

What Makes Brother’s Bond Unique and Revered

Brother’s Bond founders Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley are involved in shaping the flavour profile, barrel selection philosophy, and brand direction, while relying on Kentucky’s deep distilling expertise to execute the whiskey itself
