“The 80 proof is the bourbon that is our flagship, and it’s done so well and we’re proud of it,” said Paul Us Weekly during a joint interview with Ian last month in August.
“But we have this wonderful cask strength bourbon that just came out that is uncut, unfiltered, straight from the cask in its purest form,” he added.
Ian also jumped in, stating, “And it’s something we created for us from scratch. So unlike the Vampire Diaries, which is our show, but we were hired for that show. This is our baby. If Ian and I had a baby, this is our baby.’
Paul was also cast to play the character of James T. Kirk in season two of the Paramount+ series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
