“Enjoyable for sure, but the history behind the gentleman of golf was also great. The presentation of this bottle and all that goes with it is something you’ll want in your inventory. Cheers!!!”

Bottom line, I’m impressed with The Clover whiskeys, and enjoyed drinking them. For me, part of the enjoyment that comes with drinking premium spirits is the ritual, and the story. I’ve shared these whiskeys with a couple of friends now, and every time, we end up talking about golf and Bobby Jones. One can’t drink a whiskey with his name on it and not evoke of his spirit. If you are going to be hardline about it, the branding of a liquor has nothing to do with the taste of said liquor, but the overall experience is affected by branding. Naming plays a huge part in bourbon, seemingly every bottle has someone’s name on it. For us, the Bobby Jones name invariably leads to interesting discussions about golf.
Mr. Jones would approve of you enjoying a few fingers of The Clover whiskey with your buddies after a round. The tendency to discuss Mr. Jones accomplishments may fade if drinking The Clover whiskey becomes commonplace with your group. Until that happens though, sipping The Clover will likely fuel conversations about golf and Bobby Jones’ amazing life.

While Clover was originally allocated only to the finest clubs and resorts, such as Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge, East Lake Golf Club and Pinehurst Resort, distribution has opened up across the country for others to experience distinguished excellence of its three expressions: Single Barrel Straight Bourbon, Single-Barrel Straight Tennessee Bourbon and Single Barrel Straight Rye.
As a result, it doesn’t matter whether dad is a seasoned whiskey drinker or just looking for something to put in the new flask for those weekend rounds, The Clover is the perfect gift that will bring a smile to his face (and anyone he chooses to share it with).

“The Clover whiskey was developed in partnership with the Jones family to support their mission to sustain Bobby’s legacy,” says Joe Michalek, President and CEO of Piedmont Distillers, which created and markets the brand. “Aligning our brand story with Bobby Jones’s values and with his legacy as a gentleman and a champion, was a perfect fit. Bobby Jones was someone who not only often enjoyed three fingers of whiskey after he finished a round, he was a champion—and someone who pursued excellence in everything he did.”

"The Clover is not just another celebrity whiskey. With Jones gone, there is no ego to feed. Instead, The Clover was founded to sustain the legacy of golf's greatest gentleman and champion. There are three expressions under the umbrella of The Bobby Jones Whiskey Collection: Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye, and Straight Tennessee Whisky. All three are single barrels, and while not overly easy to obtain, they can be purchased from a variety of golf course gift shops and online retailers. "

“Speaking of whiskeys-for-golfers, 2020 also marked the first year I tried the Bobby Jones-inspired “Clover” whiskey. Named for Jones’ tradition of enjoying three fingers of the good stuff after a victory, The Clover is popping-up in an increasing number of clubhouses across the country, its 10-year aged bourbon features sweet maple and caramel notes.”
“Bobby Jones is one of greatest golfers of all-time. After each competition, he would enjoy three fingers of the finest local whiskey to celebrate. The Clover Whiskey portfolio is a testament to Jones’ legacy, featuring single-barrel, straight whiskeys that go down smooth.”

“It has a thick mouth feel when you first take a sip, and at 92 proof you can definitely feel a little heat from the alcohol. However, it isn’t so pronounced that you should have any issues sipping it neat…or from a flask on the course.”

“We partnered with The Clover Whiskey on two small events and provided the participants with a bottle as a favor, which was a big hit. The first event was for the Men's Team Play Captain Luncheon and golf event and chose the Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This was very popular with the group as the full-bodied and well-balanced flavor with a soft, lingering finish hit the spot. For the second event, we chose the Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The rich flavor and notable smoothness of this pour was much appreciated and enjoyed by this sophisticated whiskey group.

“There’s perhaps no more apparent confluence of golf and American whiskey than The Clover Whiskey. The brand boasts Bobby Jones on the label for each of its bottles, and considering 2020 marks the 90th anniversary of Bobby Jones’ grand slam, I decided to pour myself a dram and call up Dr. Bob Jones IV, the grandson of golf’s grand slam winning golfer.”

“Golfers are a unique breed. Golf seems to invade our very being. We love to play golf, endlessly talk about golf – we even desire to live in golf communities and go on golf vacations. As such, it’s not surprising that companies want to connect with us as golfers, but often the link is a bit weak. So what’s the golf association with The Clover Whiskey? Bobby Jones – how much stronger can you get than that?”

“Named after the four-leaf medallion Jones would wear during every round for good luck, The Clover also doffs its cap to Jones' habit of having three fingers of whiskey after every competitive round. A tradition, we might add, that served Jones pretty well over the years, racking up 13 major victories and the OG Grand Slam all before the age of 28 (and all as an amateur.) Your results may vary, but it’s not like a little whiskey is going to make your game any worse.”

“The famed golfer Bobby Jones won all of his big tournaments during Prohibition, including the only Grand Slam title anyone has ever won, so it’s safe to assume he had an illegal, celebratory tipple or two off of the course (and maybe on it, too). He may have had to be discreet back then, but today he has his name on an entire new line of whiskeys. Well, sort of.
The Clover Whiskey, named for the clover medallion Bobby wore at every tournament for good luck, recently hit shelves with a portion of the proceeds from each bottle going to support the philanthropic efforts of the Bobby Jones Foundations. The lineup consists of three single barrel offerings: a rye, a bourbon, and a Tennessee whiskey, all from unspecified sources. While the bourbon and rye are a modest four years old, the Tennessee whiskey, at 10 years old, is clearly meant to be the top of the line. Let’s tee her up and see how she flies!”

“This is, perhaps, the perfect whiskey for golfers. The bottle has a picture of Bobby Jones on the bottle, inspired by his tradition of drinking three fingers of whiskey after competition. The catch? You won’t find it in stores, so look for it in a nearby clubhouse and buy your dad a dram after your round together.”

“The Clover is, to simplify it a bit, the first ‘golf whiskey’ I’ve run across. It is a non-distiller producer that came to market in 2018, first available only at country clubs and now being sold at select retailers. The brand pays homage to the first truly dominant player the sport saw, Bobby Jones. In 1930, Jones won all four major golf tournaments in the same calendar year, and he is still the only golfer to accomplish that feat. Jones image appears on the bottle, and ‘The Clover’ is a reference to a four-leaf clover medallion that he reportedly wore while playing….”
