AJ Bond Distillery Unveils Its Flagship Tennessee Whiskey
AJ Bond Distillery has announced the debut of its flagship whiskey, AJ Bond Tennessee Whiskey, marking Sazerac’s first entry into the Tennessee Whiskey category.
Crafted by Master Distillers Allisa Henley and the late John Lunn, the inaugural release is crafted from a singular mashbill and produced through a dual-distillation process featuring both pot and column stills, in which each distillate is charcoal mellowed and aged independently, then bonded together and bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV).
AJ Bond Tennessee Whiskey is described as having aromas of “wedding cake and caramel corn, complemented by butterscotch and a subtle redwood undertone.” The palate is “complex, unfolding with baked apple and charred fruit, followed by marzipan, powdered cinnamon and brandied cherry, with hints of cream soda and baking chocolate.” The finish is “long and evolving, marked by a savory peppercorn and lingering notes of chestnut honey.”
AJ Bond Tennessee Whiskey will first be available in Tennessee beginning this month for a suggested retail price of $39.99 (750 mL), with broader U.S. distribution to select states to follow in late 2026.
