Woodson Maize N Blitz Bourbon

Product Description

Woodson Maize 'N Blitz: Where the Legend Began

Before the NFL Hall of Fame induction, before the Super Bowl ring, Charles Woodson was a Michigan Wolverine, the only primarily-defensive player in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy. Maize 'N Blitz is his tribute to that Ann Arbor chapter of his career, a cinnamon-flavored whiskey named for Michigan's iconic maize and blue and the fearless, ball-hawking defense that defined Woodson's game. This is the bottle for anyone who bleeds maize and blue, from the Big House on a fall Saturday to the tailgate lot hours before kickoff.

Made with all natural ingredients and bottled non-chill filtered in small batches, Maize 'N Blitz layers a bold, natural cinnamon kick over a smooth, oaky whiskey base, built for warming heat rather than an artificial, candy-shop burn. It's part of Woodson Whiskey's cinnamon lineup, each bottle tied to a specific chapter of Charles Woodson's career, and Maize 'N Blitz is unmistakably the college chapter: brash, electric, and built around a defense-first mentality that turned Woodson into a legend before he ever played a professional down.

Whether you're pouring it before kickoff at the Big House, sipping it at a tee box on a Saturday morning, or just want a genuine piece of Michigan football history in your glass, Maize 'N Blitz brings real energy and a real story to every pour.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bold cinnamon spice with warm baking spice and a hint of dried citrus peel, backed by oaky whiskey character.

Palate: Cinnamon heat upfront, mellowing into natural woody spice and a smooth, oak-driven whiskey base.

Finish: Warming and energetic, with a building cinnamon kick that lingers alongside gentle oak.

Food Pairings

Maize 'N Blitz's bold cinnamon character is built for a proper tailgate spread. Try it alongside cinnamon-sugar donuts, spiced brats, or apple crisp, or pour it alongside a cheese board for a spicy contrast to sharp cheddar.

Serving Suggestions

Maize 'N Blitz is best enjoyed as a chilled shot before kickoff, over ice during the game, or mixed into a spiced apple cider cocktail for a proper Michigan fall gathering.
