A new name in the spirits industry is making a mark with its rich flavor and dedication to philanthropy. Eric LeGrand Bourbon, launched in March 2023 by co-founder Eric LeGrand, has quickly gained recognition and made history as the first spirits brand to partner with Rutgers Athletics.
A Balanced Flavor Profile
Eric LeGrand Bourbon offers a masterful blend of smoothness and complexity. The bourbon boasts a woody taste with notes of cedar, almond, and subtle oak. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in an Old Fashioned, the quality ingredients—heartland-grown corn, limestone-purified water, fresh rye, and barley—create an exceptional drinking experience.
More Than Just a Drink
Beyond its taste, Eric LeGrand Bourbon stands out for its mission. Eric LeGrand, a former Rutgers University football player, was paralyzed in a 2010 game. Despite this life-altering injury, LeGrand remains focused on making a positive impact. His bourbon brand supports those living with paralysis.
