5 Reasons Bourbon Belongs at the Big Game

The Big Game isn’t just about football—it’s about tradition, celebration, and unforgettable moments shared with friends and family. Whether you’re rooting for a specific team, enjoying the halftime show, cooing over the Puppy Bowl, or just here for the party, the right bourbon can take your game day experience to the next level.

Here are 5 reasons why bourbon is the MVP of your Big Game celebration—and the perfect bourbons to match.

1. Eagle Rare 10 Year

2. Blanton’s Red

Bourbon is meant to be savored during special occasions, and Blanton’s Red is a perfect fit. This single-barrel bourbon is as rare as they come, but it’s the exact opposite of the Kansas City Chiefs—whose trips to the Big Game are becoming anything but rare. With its rich caramel, dark fruit, and warm spice notes, Blanton’s Red is perfect for Chiefs fans celebrating another championship run.

Why it’s perfect: The red label pairs perfectly with Kansas City’s team colors, making it a standout for Chiefs fans.

Why it works: The playful "Superb Owl" nickname makes this bottle a perfect conversation starter for the occasion.

Its timeless craftsmanship and powerful presence make it the perfect sip for raising a glass to greatness.

Command the moment: Just like the Washington Commanders, this bottle stands out with boldness; ideal for those who want to make a statement and savor true craftsmanship.
