Athlete’s Cut Bourbon is a partnership with 502Circle, the official NIL collective of Louisville athletics, and supports student athletes.
Chad Brizendine and Jake Warm, the dynamic duo behind O.K.I. Spirits, have introduced an exciting new bourbon label in collaboration with 502Circle. This partnership aims to support student athletes through Louisville athletics’ official NIL collective.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Dan and the 502Circle to raise funds to support student athletes. Buying a fantastic bottle of bourbon for your home bar or tailgate to share with friends, family, and other fans is a great way to support 502Circle,” said Chad Brizendine, a proud Louisville native and University of Louisville alumnus.
Athlete’s Cut Bourbon Whiskey: A Blend of Tradition and Support
Athlete’s Cut blended bourbon whiskey is an exquisite double-barreled blend aged for over eight years. Crafted with care in Bardstown, KY, this bourbon comprises four distinct mash bills from MGP’s distillery in Lawrenceburg. Bottled at 90 proof, it will retail for $49.99 and be available statewide in early Fall 2024, just in time for the football season.
“We’re really proud of this blend, which we believe is the perfect balance of corn and rye with a hint of malted barley. We too are thrilled to be giving 15% of all sales to 502Circle and give Louisville fans a really delicious way to support their local collective,” added Jake Warm.
Supporting Louisville Athletics with Every Sip
Dan Furman, President of 502Circle, expressed his excitement: “I couldn’t be more thrilled to have O.K.I. as our Official Whiskey Partner of 502Circle. We’re in the heart of bourbon country, and the launch of Athlete’s Cut by O.K.I. gives our fans a fun way to support us by combining several passions.”
