Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line have collaborated on music in the past, and now they are coming together for a new business. The country stars just launched a new straight bourbon whiskey, Wolf Moon Bourbon.
"There’s nothing like sharing a glass of bourbon with my crew after a show...you could say it’s been part of our ritual for years," Aldean said. “Tyler and Brian have been a part of that ritual and we wanted to create something to remind us of our favorite memories. Wolf Moon’s name is a nod to the pack... the friends that become family. I’m looking forward to raising a glass with all my fans on the road this year."
"Making good whiskey has been our passion project, and we really wanted to create something with Jason that would be totally different from Old Camp," Florida Georgia Line added. “We’ve had this idea for years and spent a lot of time making sure we got it just right. We’re all so proud of this and it was really fun to collaborate on something together outside of music."
The 80-proof bourbon was distilled from Midwestern grains and aged for four years in charred American oak barrels. The flavor has been described as "caramel, sweet corn, honey and candied fruit, balanced by hints of oak and spice."
Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley already have some experience in the business as they launched Old Camp Whiskey in 2016. The inspiration behind the project while enjoying a glass of their favorite drink after a show.
"After a show- we toured together for a year or so, maybe a little longer- and after the shows, we'd all go back in the dressing rooms. It's the best part of the night," Aldean told People. "You just played your show and hopefully sent everyone home happy and it's our time to get to relax and unwind a little big and hang out with your friends and have a drink."
Aldean became friends with Hubbard and Kelley after being introduced by his booking agent. "My booking agent was working with them and wanted me to meet those guys so he brought them backstage after one of my shows," Aldean recalled. "But long story short, I got introduced to them. We started hanging out and ended up taking them on tour with me."
He continues, "They’ve written some songs for me- some of my biggest songs over the years, those guys have collaborated on and written together. It’s turned into a really cool friendship... Our wives became friends and it just became like a family thing."
