If you’re somehow unfamiliar with Brother’s Bond Bourbon, it’s an award-winning whiskey brand founded by actors and friends Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley (of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ fame). But it’s not your average celebrity brand. Founded in 2021, the duo set out to craft high-quality whiskeys using sustainable, regenerative agricultural practices. Not surprisingly, Brother’s Bond Bourbon might have the perfect whiskey for Earth Day.

It’s aptly called Brother’s Bond Regenerative Grain Straight Bourbon. If you’re planning to enjoy a glass of whiskey on Earth Day (April 22), there’s no better choice. This small-batch, award-winning whiskey is a blend of three-year-old bourbon and six-year-old wheated bourbon, along with custom toast and char methods.

The first bourbon made with regenerative grains, this 95-proof whiskey is known for its nose of toasted oak and caramelized sugar. The palate is a mix of toasted marshmallows, charred oak, sweet corn, and toasted vanilla beans. The finish is warm, lingering, and memorable.

“To us, bourbon is about more than flavor—it’s about legacy and impact,” Ian Somerhalder, co-founder of Brother’s Bond Bourbon, said.

“Regenerative farming isn’t just an agricultural shift—it’s a hopeful solution to the climate crisis. By caring for the land and supporting the farmers who steward it, we’re creating a richer, more meaningful whiskey experience—one that preserves the earth for future generations. Every sip connects us to something bigger, and every pour is a step toward something better.”

A simple way to make your daily caffeine ritual more sustainable for Earth Day

Although we should all pay attention to sustainability year-round, Earth Day is a great time to reconsider our morning rituals and how they affect the environment. Many are unaware of the environmental harm that goes alongside our daily caffeine habits, from deforestation to soil depletion. One way to change your daily routine for a more sustainable one is to switch to matcha, a more sustainable alternative that offers the same energizing benefits as coffee -- without the environmental cost.

Unlike coffee, matcha is shade-grown, hand-harvested, and uses the entire tea leaf, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. But is matcha a sustainable alternative to coffee? Should you make the switch? I discussed these questions with Dr. Andrew Weil, a world-renowned leader and pioneer in integrative medicine, a healing-oriented approach encompassing body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Weil is the founder of Matcha.com and is internationally recognized for his expertise in healthy living and aging and his vision for the future of medicine and healthcare.
