If there’s one thing Eric Church knows besides making damn good country music, it’s how to pour a quality drink. The country superstar and whiskey aficionado is back at it again with the latest addition to his JYPSI Spirits lineup—Whiskey JYPSI Tribute Double Barreled Bourbon.
Tribute, an 86-proof straight bourbon whiskey, is Church’s fourth whiskey release and takes a unique approach to blending and aging. This ain’t just another celebrity-branded bourbon riding the wave of the whiskey boom. Church and his team are doing things differently, crafting their spirits with high-quality, small-batch grains and an extra round of barreling that gives Tribute a smooth, caramel-vanilla kick that casual drinkers and bourbon snobs alike can appreciate.
A Bourbon with Heart and Heritage
Unlike the mass-produced bourbons filling store shelves, Whiskey JYPSI’s Tribute takes its time. Aged for a minimum of four years in charred new American Oak barrels, the whiskey then goes through an extra step—proofed down and re-barreled for another three to six months, deepening its flavor and refining its finish. The result? A bold, well-balanced bourbon with a rich amber color, smooth sippability, and layers of complexity.
But it’s not just about the process—it’s about the people. Church and whiskey maker Ari Sussman are sourcing grains from small family farms instead of large-scale commercial operations. One standout ingredient? Cherokee White Corn, a once-sacred crop that adds a distinct depth to Tribute’s flavor profile.
“With Tribute, we’re also honoring and working with small communities and local farmers to make this whiskey,” says Church. “I’m from Appalachia, so I love the small-town and artisanal element. And it’s those points of differentiation that, to me, make a major difference with people who drink whiskey.”
Premium Taste at a Price Everyone Can Enjoy
Church and his team have made it clear that Tribute is meant for everyone—not just the high rollers willing to shell out top dollar for limited editions. Priced at $44.99, this bourbon sits comfortably in that sweet spot where affordability meets premium quality.
“This is a whiskey with a price point and a flavor profile everybody can enjoy, but with the same high-quality approach we’ve taken with our other whiskeys,” Church explains. And given the success of his previous releases—Legacy and Explorer, both of which racked up awards and critical praise—there’s no doubt that Tribute will follow suit.
Where to Find It
Whiskey JYPSI Tribute Double Barreled Bourbon is available starting today at select liquor stores and online at shop.whiskeyjypsi.com. Given Church’s track record, don’t be surprised if this one sells out fast—so if you want to get your hands on a bottle, now’s the time.
