YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –The Penguin Collective is offering a premium bourbon collection to give fans a creative way to support Youngstown State University’s athletic teams.
Its first release, The Red & White Are Waving, can be purchased at CommittedSpirits.com.
The proceeds from each bottle will directly benefit the Penguin Collective’s mission to elevate the opportunities available to YSU student-athletes through the NCAA’s name, image and likeness rules.
Crafted in partnership with Committed Spirits, the limited-edition double-oaked straight bourbon whiskey is crafted with a mash bill of 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley. Aged for five years in American white oak barrels and bottled at 115 proof, each pour greets the senses with a rich auburn color and a nose of vanilla, mingling with candied fruits, dates and cherries. The palate unfolds with smooth notes of vanilla and caramel, complemented by hints of dried fruits and cloves.
The bourbon collection is produced and bottled by Swilled Dog, a distillery based in West Virginia.
With only 900 bottles available, The Red & White Are Waving is the first of three collectible bottles in the Penguin bourbon collection.
The Penguin Collective aims to help YSU student-athletes succeed on and off the field. Composed of local accounting and legal professionals, it helps student-athletes build their personal brands and provides them with opportunities to monetize endorsements using their name, image and likeness.
