Traveller Blend No. 40 Full Proof Whiskey by Chris Stapleton

Traveller Blend No. 40 Full Proof Whiskey by Chris Stapleton – Bold American Whiskey

Traveller Blend No. 40 Full Proof is the powerful, amped-up expression of the original Traveller blend — a whiskey shaped by the artistry of 8x Grammy 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.

Built from carefully selected barrels across multiple distilleries and chosen for their depth, spice, and complexity, Blend No. 40 Full Proof is a whiskey that's bold yet balanced — with a warm, resonant finish that mirrors the soulful energy of Stapleton's music.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Brown sugar, toasted oak, warm baking spice, caramel, and a hint of dried fruit
• Palate: Full-bodied and expressive with vanilla, dark honey, cinnamon, roasted nuts, charred oak, and subtle stone fruit. The elevated proof amplifies richness without sacrificing balance.
• Finish: Long, warming, and bold with lingering spice, caramelized sweetness, and a touch of smoke

Pairing Suggestions

Traveller Blend No. 40 Full Proof pairs beautifully with BBQ ribs, smoked brisket, and sharp cheddar. Its warm spice and caramel character also complements pecan pie, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the aromatics, or in an elevated whiskey-forward cocktail.
