Fierce & Kind Spirits has released its Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon.
A North Carolina straight bourbon whiskey distilled from sustainably sourced, locally grown grains (75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley), the expression is aged for two years, nine months in charred and toasted New American Oak barrels, resulting in a 110 proof bourbon.
“We are thrilled to introduce this Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon as a permanent part of Fierce & Kind’s product portfolio,” said Basem Harb, Founder and CEO of Fierce & Kind Spirits. “Our goal was to create a high-proof spirit that appeals to bourbon hunters and beginners alike. We’re proud to share this spirit that speaks to both palates, honoring the depth and complexity of flavors while remaining approachable.”
Previously released as a limited-edition bottle last summer, the expression has been added to the brand’s permanent product line due to its extreme popularity. During its initial limited release, it won a Gold Medal at the 2023 Ascot Awards hosted by bourbon critic Fred Minnick. This new staple offering marks the brand’s third portfolio addition following its inaugural bourbon and vodka launch in 2023.
Complementing its dedication to crafting high-quality, straightforward spirits, Fierce & Kind remains committed to supporting underserved entrepreneur communities through its foundation, The Fierce & Kind Equity Foundation. As a minority- and woman-led brand, Fierce & Kind proudly donates 25% of its profits to the foundation, fueling educational and economic opportunities in historically underserved spaces.
“True to our name, this fierce new spirit helps drive our mission to spread kindness by building economic opportunities and entrepreneurship in underserved communities,” said Cyndi Smith, Co-Founder and Chief Administrative Officer of Fierce & Kind Spirits. “Every bottle purchased contributes 25% of the profits back to the community, making our Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon a drink you can feel good about.”
Fierce & Kind’s Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon retails for $85.
