Introducing the 2025 Bourbon Fundraiser: My Brother's Keeper
Presented by the OCDSA Family Benevolent Fund
This year’s exclusive bourbon release is more than just a fine spirit — it’s a symbol of unity, loyalty, and the unwavering commitment we have to one another.
“My Brother’s Keeper” is a phrase that speaks to the heart of our mission. It’s a promise — that we will show up, stand together, and support each other, no matter the cost. Inspired by the timeless story of Cain and Abel, this bourbon represents not just brotherhood by blood, but by bond — a deep-rooted sense of duty to care for and protect our community.
About the Bourbon
Crafted with precision and passion, this 102 Proof Single Barrel Reserve is a tribute to the grit, soul, and spirit of Detroit. The proof pays homage to the iconic 8 Mile Road (M-102) — the cultural and geographical border that has shaped the identity of the Motor City. Just like Detroit, this bourbon is bold, complex, and unforgettable.
Distilled by the master artisans at Shankar Distillers, “My Brother’s Keeper” is aged for 6 years and hand-selected by the OCDSA Family Benevolent Fund. Every sip is a reflection of our values: strength, resilience, and brotherhood.
Tasting Notes
Proof: 102
Nose: Rich waves of caramel, smooth vanilla, and toasted oak. Undertones of dark fruit and subtle clove add intrigue.
Palate: A dynamic and harmonious balance of sweetness, spice, and smoke. Expect deep caramel, warm vanilla, cocoa, and bold baking spices like cinnamon and clove — with a peppery kick that lingers from the high proof.
Finish: Long, warming, and layered. The finish leaves behind soft notes of charred wood, oak, and just the right touch of vanilla sweetness.
A Bourbon with Purpose
More than a premium bourbon, “My Brother’s Keeper” is a heartfelt tribute to those who serve, protect, and care for others — both in our own ranks and across our community. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail, this bottle is a toast to tradition, craftsmanship, and compassion.
This is not just a bottle of bourbon — it’s a symbol of solidarity. And every purchase supports the OCDSA Family Benevolent Fund, helping us continue our mission to assist those in need during times of hardship.
