About Eric LeGrand Whiskey
In October 2010, Rutgers University football star Eric LeGrand sustained a spinal cord injury at his C3 and C4 vertebrae during a fourth quarter play at MetLife Stadium. While the initial prognosis was grim, Eric demonstrated his titan strength by shattering all expectations for his recovery and rehabilitation.
Eric hopes to dispel the misconception that those living with paralysis cannot enjoy life’s finer pleasures. While Eric’s path has been an arduous one, he reminds himself to celebrate his victories and encourages others to toast their own triumphs daily.
Eric’s tireless spirit and appreciation of whiskey led him to found Eric LeGrand Whiskey. As Eric learned more about the journey of a Kentucky Straight Bourbon, he found that the precision when creating the mash bill, the patience required during the barrel aging process, and the trust in the overall process paralleled the precision, patience, and trust required in his own grueling recovery.

    The man named Frank Lanzillo whom you guys might do business with is a vial Trump supporter who spews nothing but hate about our government or maybe just the current administration. He also posts hateful words about women. I don't think he would represent your high quality brand respectfully as one should. He's the guy who makes those tacky ammo can boxes. I'm sure you guys have wives or girlfriends and daughters. I just can't sit by and watch another man who acts so entitled who steps on people and Disparages women.

    Bourbon is a whiskey but a a whiskey is not a bourbon, and that is the only distinction. Whiskey as everyone knows was invented in Ireland right? Wrong. Probably got to give that to the Italians who taught Irish missionaries about grappa. So we Americans invented nothing in regards to whiskey but I think we took something good and made it to some degree better.

      Well nobody can say it definitely but the two main choices I think are the long slow process of taking whiskey in barrels slowly down the Mississippi to market in New Orleans. The trip causing swaying and swashing around made the spirit gain much more contact with the wood producing a better color and smoothness to the spirit. Once in New Orleans customers called it bourbon the area in which it came from. Another less likely situation was the customer called it bourbon based on a billing statement glued to a barrel. Spirits being a currency in those days coupled with American distaste for taxes an intentional paper trail left for the tax man seems less likely to me. So whiskey is not bourbon but bourbon is whiskey and folks in Lynchburg been a bit upset ever since.
