Bottled at 51.9% alcohol by volume (103.8 proof) in a nod to Bradshaw’s final NFL career passing completion percentage of 51.9%, this memorable lineup consists of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, hand-crafted by a third-generation master Distiller at one of the oldest distilleries in the nation, Green River Distillery in Owensboro, KY.

Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a smooth, sophisticated yet easy-drinking bourbon. Vanilla, coffee, banana, leather and campfire notes are available on the nose, inviting you to enjoy its robust combination of flavors, including cinnamon, baking spices, vanilla, and coconut that artfully combine to please the palette. A finish of wood, vanilla and butterscotch caps the perfect ending, resulting in a touchdown-worthy celebration that you’ll be sure to enjoy repeatedly.

For Bradshaw, getting into the bourbon business was an ideal way to achieve greatness beyond his professional playing days. It was important to ensure the products he produced were “Worthy of a Champion” given Bradshaw’s iconic NFL career in which he helped guide the Pittsburgh Steelers to 4 Super Bowl titles, including 1 Super Bowl MVP, garnering him NFL Hall of Fame status. Blended from the finest grains and aged in hand-selected barrels, the 212 blend is a nod to the 212 touchdown passes Bradshaw tossed during his illustrious career.

And the accolades have already started to pour in for Bradshaw Bourbon, recently snagging a 91 rating from Wine Enthusiast for Terry’s signature bourbon as well as finishing 2nd overall in a blind taste test by Fred Minnick, whose renowned and refined palate is used to judge wine and spirits, with his scored used during the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
