What is the Leading Role?
The Leading Role is a ready-to-serve bourbon cocktail made with premium bourbon blended with the peaty character of Irish whiskey, balanced with natural flavors featuring lime, blood orange, and black raspberry notes. Bottled at 21% ABV, all-natural, with no artificial flavors or preservatives. 375ml glass bottle, 3-5 servings per bottle.
How do you serve a Leading Role?
Chill the bottle slightly, then serve over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Let the flavors develop as the ice opens the spirit. Garnish with an orange peel or a brandied cherry. No shaking, no mixing — bottled at the right strength to serve straight from the bottle.
What's the ABV of the Leading Role?
21% ABV (42 proof). This matches the strength of a freshly made bourbon cocktail served at a craft cocktail bar, significantly higher than typical canned RTD whiskey drinks which range 4-8% ABV. Full-strength means real bourbon flavor, not a watered-down approximation.
Does the Leading Role need refrigeration?
No refrigeration required. Brody's bottles are shelf-stable thanks to natural preservation through alcohol content and the absence of perishable ingredients. Chill before serving for best flavor, but the unopened bottle stores at room temperature for up to two years.
What does the Leading Role taste like?
Charred oak and peat take the lead, followed by ripe black raspberry and bright blood orange. A layered bourbon cocktail with depth and balance — earns quiet appreciation from guests who know their whiskey. Award-winning. All-natural. The only premium premixed bourbon cocktail in its class.
