Harold Perrineau, Malcolm D. Lee, Morris Chestnut and Taye Diggs, who joined for the film “The Best Man,” are back with a new collaboration with the launch of Sable, a bourbon with notes of brown sugar and dense chocolate.
The name “Sable,” meaning black, symbolizes the depth, richness and beauty of connection that mark the profoundly lasting bonds that this bourbon was made to embody, the company notes.
“Creating Sable has been a journey and celebration of our long-lasting friendship,” Diggs said in a statement. “Each bottle tells a story, and we can't wait for people to share in those stories as they enjoy our bourbon.”
Perrineau added: “We want every sip of Sable to feel like our friendship. We’ve spent 25 years crafting an unbreakable bond, and now, with Sable, we get to share that feeling with others.”
The four artists joined with Bespoken Spirits, to create Sable. Renowned for its innovative approach to aging and flavor profile creation, and winner of 200 awards within just three years, the Bespoken team worked hands-on with the quartet over the span of years to get the liquid just right, the company says.
“Collaborating with Taye, Morris, Malcolm and Harold has been an inspiring journey,” said Scott Savage, CEO of Bespoken Spirits, in a statement. “Sable Bourbon embodies the essence of their camaraderie, blending our innovative techniques with traditional whiskey-making and the timelessness of their friendship. It’s a distinctive and exceptional bourbon that we cannot wait to share with the world.”
Sable debuts at just the right time, upon the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, attesting to its enduring cultural resonance and its collaborators’ deep personal bonds.
Sable Bourbon is crafted using a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, resulting in a bold 94 proof spirit. Its tasting notes feature a deep golden-brown color, with enticing aromas of burnt sugar, pear compote, allspice and nutty marzipan, the company says. On the palate, it delivers rich flavors of dense mocha and dark chocolate fudge, culminating in an oak-forward finish with a medium-spice finish, it notes.
Packaged in a 750-ml bottle, Sable Bourbon can be purchased online at the company’s website and is rolling out in retail locations across the United States, it says.
