College Football season is well underway and if you’re a fan of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, there’s a bourbon made for you. Eric LeGrand Bourbon, the first spirits brand to become a proud partner of Rutgers Athletics, has teamed up with the university to release a bourbon series.
The first release from the Scarlet Knight Series is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that was aged for 5 years and bottled at 92 proof. It comprises a mashbill of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% barle.
“We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with Rutgers University on this new bourbon series,” said Eric LeGrand, Co-Founder of Eric LeGrand Bourbon. “Since we entered our partnership with Rutgers Athletics in 2023, it opened many doors for the brand so this was a long time coming. The university means so much to me and it’s been great seeing fellow Rutgers fans enjoying our bourbon on game days. Now, they can finally have a bourbon that bottles up their pride for the university and can be used to toast on many occasions.”
LeGrand is a former Rutgers defensive tackle turned businessman whose life changed in 2010 when he became paralyzed after a tackle. Through its commitment to giving back, Eric LeGrand Bourbon promises to donate $5.20 of every case sold of Eric LeGrand Bourbon to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, supporting those living with and impacted by paralysis by finding the cure for spinal cord injuries.
Eric LeGrand Bourbon’s Scarlet Knight Series First Edition is available now for $54.99.
