Jeremiah Weed is a brand of bourbon whiskey-based products. These include a 90 proof blended whiskey distilled in Kentucky,[1] and a bourbon-based 100-proof liqueur manufactured in Connecticut, which is the drink of choice for USAF fighter pilots.[2] In 2011, Jeremiah Weed entered the flavored malt beverages market with five blends, three marketed in the U.S. and two in the UK. The U.S.-market blends are 5.8% ABV, and the UK-market blends are 4.0% ABV. The Jeremiah Weed brand is owned and marketed by Diageo.
The brand has been promoted by the band Dos Gringos and their song, "Jeremiah Weed." Gary Jules also produced a song titled "Jeremiah Weed" in 1998. Ohio folk singer Eric Nassau includes a song also titled "Jeremiah Weed" on his album Eric Nassau and Friends. Jeremiah Weed is also promoted extensively by The Adam Carolla Podcast.
In 2009, Jeremiah Weed introduced a blend of flavored vodka, Southern Style Sweet Tea, followed in 2010 by a lemonade blend called Half and Half. 2011 saw the introduction of three flavored malt beverages (a category sometimes referred to as alcopop) — Lightning Lemonade, Roadhouse Tea, and Spiked Cola.
Also in 2011, Jeremiah Weed launched two Brews into the UK: Jeremiah Weed Sour Mash Brew which has a bourbon taste and Jeremiah Weed Root Brew which has a ginger taste.
