Traveller Blend No. 40 Full Proof Whiskey by Chris Stapleton
A Bold, Full‑Proof Whiskey Crafted in Collaboration with Chris Stapleton
Traveller Blend No. 40 Full Proof Whiskey is the powerful, amped‑up expression of the original Traveller blend — a whiskey shaped by the artistry of award‑winning musician Chris Stapleton and the blending mastery of Master Blender Jackie Zykan. Bottled at full proof for deeper intensity and richer character, this release delivers a robust, flavor‑forward experience that stays true to the smooth, approachable DNA of the Traveller brand.
Blend No. 40 Full Proof is built from carefully selected barrels across multiple distilleries, chosen for their depth, spice, and complexity. The result is a whiskey that’s bold yet balanced, with a warm, resonant finish that mirrors the soulful energy of Stapleton’s music.
