With a goal of making a difference for those impacted by paralysis, Eric LeGrand, former college football defensive tackle, now turned businessman and inspiration to all, has officially launched his first-ever whiskey brand, Eric LeGrand Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
For background – In 2010, Eric’s life changed when he became paralyzed after a tackle while playing football for Rutgers University. Through his ongoing rehabilitation journey, Eric has been inspired to appreciate the finer things in life which led him to team up with spirits entrepreneur, Brian Axelrod to create a whiskey that can be enjoyed by all. The dynamic duo is also committed to supporting those living with and impacted by paralysis by finding the cure for spinal cord injuries. This motivated them to make the promise to donate $5.20 (52 was Eric’s jersey number) of every case sold of Eric LeGrand Bourbon to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
For reference, Eric LeGrand Bourbon is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon, distilled in Owensboro, Kentucky and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky. The liquid is created with quality heartland grown corn, limestone purified water, the freshest rye and barley available. Aged no less than two years in perfectly charred oak barrels, this premier whiskey boasts a warm nose and a smooth crisp finish. Eric LeGrand Bourbon (750ML bottle) is now available to purchase HERE.
