Product Description

Woodson Raiders 65th Anniversary: A Tribute to the Silver and Black

To celebrate 65 years of the storied Raiders franchise, Woodson Bourbon Whiskey, founded by football legend Charles Woodson, released this 65th Anniversary Limited Edition Commemorative Bottle in collaboration with the Las Vegas Raiders. Each bottle is adorned with a painting of Charles Woodson's iconic gesture of throwing up the "O," symbolizing Oakland, where he began and finished his Hall of Fame, 18-season career. The artwork was commissioned by California painter Pedro Plasencia specifically for this release.

"Throwing up the 'O' is not just a gesture, it's a tribute to the spirit of the Raiders and a symbol of my career with the Silver and Black," Woodson said of the release. "It's a storied piece of the 65 year legacy that defines what it means to be a Raider. The bottle is not just bourbon, it's a celebration of Raider Nation and all that it stands for." This Kentucky Straight Bourbon is aged 2 years in charred oak barrels, delivering a rich and complex flavor profile at a balanced, approachable 90 proof, equally suited to sipping neat or mixing into a cocktail while cheering on the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium or celebrating at home.

Released as part of Woodson Bourbon Whiskey's ongoing partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders, first announced in August 2023, this commemorative bottle is a genuine collector's piece for Raider Nation and Charles Woodson fans alike.
