With Superbowl XLV looking to be the greatest Superbowl ever played and featuring two of the National Football League's most iconic teams in the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers, whiskey fans will have a lot to cheer about on February 6th. As a Green Bay Packers fan, it will be exciting to watch Aaron Rodgers step up into Packer history with Bart Starr and Brett Favre as one of the only quarterbacks to lead the Pack into the Superbowl. Celebrate this amazing feat with one of these great whiskies on game day and you'll be sure to be the MVP of any Superbowl party.
1. Deaths Door White Whiskey
As a white whiskey, also known as "white dog" in the industry, Deaths Door isn't a true whiskey in that it isn't aged. This Wisconsin native is a little rough around the edges without any time to mellow in wood, but if you are looking for a hard hitting local to celebrate the big game with, do try Deaths Door White Whiskey. Try mixing this with your favorite sodas or replacing vodka in your favorite cocktail recipe.
2. Jack Daniels Black Label
The greatest Packer quarterback of all time, Bart Starr hailed from Alabama. Jack Daniels is distilled one state north in Tennessee, but that hasn't kept Alabama from adopting Jack Daniels Black Label as the de facto state tipple. Wear a throwback jersey, fire up the barbecue and make a batch of Lynchburg Lemonades or some Jack and Cokes and enjoy the game Southern-style with the smooth taste of Jack Daniels.
3. McKenzie Bourbon
The winner of the Superbowl receives the Lombardi trophy, named after the Packers legendary coach, Vince Lombardi. Lombardi grew up in New York, and he would have appreciated the time and effort that goes into crafting McKenzie bourbon from Finger Lakes Distilling. Lombardi's old maxim that, "Winning isn't everything, its the only thing" will ring true when you serve McKenzie Bourbon to your guests this year.
4. Jameson Irish Whiskey
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is proud of his Irish heritage. Celebrate both Rodgers and the Packers victory with the reigning Whiskey of the Year, Jameson Irish Whiskey. Clean, smooth, and easy drinking, Jameson is perfect on its own, mixed in cocktails or in warm drinks like the Irish coffee.
