The name nods to the legendary Black Hole — the most notorious fan section in football — and the bottle copy says it plainly: this one was "made for the most notorious fans on the planet."

Charles Woodson built his brand the way he played: aggressive, confident, and built for big moments. The Black Hole edition is a bold, unapologetic sipping bourbon in a display-piece bottle — part of the brand's line of limited commemoratives aimed squarely at the Silver and Black faithful. Among whiskeys, it's a gift-bottle that drinks as good as it looks: three years in new charred oak at a clean 90 proof.
