Pronghorn is launching a bourbon matured in Madagascar vanilla extract-soaked cognac casks
You've likely had your fair share of unique expressions if you're a whiskey drinker. We're talking about whiskeys elevated by maturing or finishing in unique barrels. And very few of those whiskeys are as unique as Pronghorn's newest expression.
This whiskey was made to pay homage to the sometimes overlooked Edmond Albius, the Malagasy botanist and vanilla cultivation pioneer of the 1800s. It's an ultra-premium bourbon that's matured in vanilla extract-soaked cognac casks.
The first product innovation from Pronghorn, Edmond's Honor was 'Liquid Curator' Tracie Franklin's tribute to Albius' work with vanilla cultivation through hand pollinating vanilla. His impact is immeasurable, and his techniques are still used to this day.
According to the brand, this 86-proof whiskey begins with aromas of honeysuckle, brown sugar, toasted baking spices, and cocoa. The palate is a mix of sandalwood, coconut, nutmeg, allspice, and citrus zest. The finish combines brown butter, toasted oak, chocolate, orange blossom, cinnamon, and Madagascar vanilla.
'When we set out to create Edmond's Honor, we wanted to represent Edmond Albius' legacy through distinctive taste and embrace the essence of real Madagascar vanilla, an ingredient that he made possible,' Franklin, Edmond Honor's Liquid Curator, said in a press release.
'Every sip is a testament to Edmond's discovery and the artistry shaping the future of bourbon.'
Edmond's Honor is available at select retailers in Georgia, New Jersey, and Florida, and it will be rolled out to additional states throughout 2025. It is also available for nationwide shipping at www.edmondshonor.com. The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is $54.99.

Ben Stiller asked Barack Obama to do a ‘Severance' cameo
Say what you will about Severance, you cannot deny that the show really goes for it. The second season has been filled with some big twists, as well as a surprising voice cameo from Keanu Reeves as the narrator of a video in the season's first episode. In speaking with Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night, though, director Ben Stiller revealed that they originally went after someone even more high-profile to do the video narration. 'There was one person that I asked before [Keanu Reeves], and he said no: President Barack Obama,' Stiller explained. Stiller explained that he sent the offer to the former president via a friend who knows the family lawyer. 'Two days later, I get an email back from President Barack Obama,' Stiller explained. 'Hey Ben, big fan of the show, love Season 1, can't wait for Season 2. Don't think I have time in my schedule to make this happen,' Stiller said the message read. Ben Stiller on Severance Theories, Trying to Cast Obama & Presenting at Oscars During Knicks Game 'What's more important than doing the voice-over for the animated building in Severance?' Stiller joked, 'It was pretty cool that he responded.' Obama might have been a little too big for the part, whereas Reeves turned out to have been the perfect fit. He's a voice you recognize, but might not immediately place. 'We always wanted it to be somebody that people have certain associations with, but also, it had to be a very warm presence,' show creator Dan Erickson previously explained to Collider. 'The Lumon building is very friendly in the context of this video, and there's a friendliness to that particular voice and a heart to that particular voice.'
