Black Athlete-Honouring Whiskeys

Old Hillside Bourbon Company's The Trifecta Honours Horse Racers

Black-owned Old Hillside Bourbon Company is set to release The Trifecta, a new whiskey blend honoring three trailblazing Black women in horse racing — Eliza Carpenter, Sylvia Bishop, and Cheryl White. Launching in March 2025 and coinciding with Women’s History Month, this commemorative release pays tribute to the athletes' groundbreaking contributions to the sport. Eliza Carpenter, who was born into slavery, became a successful horse owner and racer. Sylvia Bishop, on the other hand, was the first African American female thoroughbred horse trainer. Finally, Cheryl White made history as the first licensed Black female jockey in the US.

Old Hillside Bourbon Company's The Trifecta boasts a flavor profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, dark fruits, and spice to reflect the complexity and richness of the horse racers' legacies. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from The Trifecta will support The Cheryl White Project and Sylvia Bishop Foundation.
