Whiskey JYPSI Announces Tonewood
Whiskey JYPSI has announced the launch of Tonewood, a limited-edition collaboration with Gibson that uses toasted maple tonewood offcuts from Gibson’s guitar-building process for whiskey finishing.
Tonewood explores how a single tonewood can shape two distinct whiskey personalities through differences in age, proof, and structure. The series debuts with two releases, Tonewood: Vol. 1 and Tonewood: The Collective.
Whiskey JYPSI Tonewood: Vol. 1
Built from older whiskey stocks, including 20-year-old straight bourbon and 14-year-old whiskey from a bourbon mash bill, then finished with toasted Gibson maple offcuts for a deep, concentrated profile with mature oak, vanilla, warm baking spice, honey, polished hardwood, caramelized sugar, roasted nuts, and a long, structured finish.
Whiskey JYPSI Tonewood: Vol. 1 is bottled at 109 proof (54.5% ABV) and presented in a custom Gibson case constructed in the spirit of Gibson’s classic hardshell guitar cases, complete with a co-branded Gibson guitar strap featuring a Hummingbird detail unique to the release, and two Whiskey JYPSI glasses. Tonewood: Vol. 1 is available as an extremely limited direct-to-consumer release for $799.
Whiskey JYPSI Tonewood: The Collective
A lighter, more lifted expression finished with the same Gibson maple offcuts, offering vanilla, graham cracker, light caramel, toasted grain, and a clean finish that fades to gentle smoke.
Whiskey JYPSI Tonewood: The Collective is bottled at 103 proof (51.5% ABV) and presented in Hummingbird-inspired packaging. Tonewood: The Collective is available direct-to-consumer for a suggested price of $199, before expanding in limited quantities to select retail partners across the U.S. A portion of proceeds from every bottle will benefit Gibson Gives, Gibson’s philanthropic foundation supporting nonprofits in music education, health and wellness, and community uplift worldwide.
