BSB WHISKEY X JAMIE FOXX OFFICIALLY UNVEIL THEIR COLLABORATION WITH ICONIC NEW PACKAGING

Jamie Foxx changes the whiskey game with exclusive release of BSB Whiskey in partnership with WES Brands

DALLAS, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fast-growing spirits incubator WES Brands, known for brand acceleration and innovation, has joined forces once again with award-winning actor, musician, and entrepreneur Jamie Foxx for the exclusive release of BSB Whiskey, an ultra-smooth flavored whiskey. Dedicating two years to the design and development of the new look and flavor, Brown Sugar Blend, affectionately dubbed "BSB," is ready to debut and shake up the whiskey category. Foxx joins as brand owner and creative director.

"Life is precious, so I've always tried living it to the fullest. As an avid whiskey drinker, owning a brand that is sippable and unlike any other has been a life goal of mine; with BSB, I'm finally making that happen," says Foxx, BSB Owner & Creative Director. "BSB is an ode to my personal philosophy – it's about bringing people together to celebrate life and have fun."

Embodying the essence of bolder, stronger, and better, BSB Whiskey's 70-proof liquid is a masterpiece that perfectly blends the aromatic spice of cinnamon with the rich, comforting sweetness of brown sugar. BSB Whiskey comes in dynamic new packaging that is as innovative as the whiskey itself. The sleek, matte black bottle proudly wears a "BSB" chenille letter patch on its chest that glows in the dark, designed to captivate and intrigue. This unique, revamped touch ensures that BSB Whiskey stands out on the shelves and lights up any social gathering, making it the most coveted centerpiece of the night. 

"Last year was a record year for flavored whiskies. U.S. depletions reached 18.25 million cases in 2023, up from 14 million cases in 2019*," said Lauren Kiyak, SVP of Marketing at WES Brands. "We knew we had an incredible opportunity on our hands. With Jamie's creative lead, BSB now sits at the intersection of fashion and sports, a modern tribute to nostalgic tech and delicious flavors."

BSB Whiskey is a key priority in the rapidly growing WES Brands portfolio. To support the national rollout, Naeemah Leonard, a 15+ year veteran in the wine and spirits industry, joins WES Brands as their new Senior Brand Director of Whiskey.
