Introducing Peach Perfect Whiskey, a peach-infused whiskey that celebrates two iconic Rockford legacies: Phantom Regiment and the Rockford Peaches. This smooth, vibrant blend captures the spirit of excellence and teamwork both are known for. With the boldness of a finely aged whiskey and the sweet, refreshing notes of ripe peaches, Peach Perfect is the ideal tribute to these legendary teams. Whether you’re raising a glass to Phantom Regiment’s powerful performances or honoring the trailblazing Peaches, this whiskey invites you to savor the rich heritage of Rockford in every sip. A perfect harmony of tradition and boldness – a true Rockford original.
Phantom Regiment is proud to partner with the International Women’s Baseball Center in their mission to protect, preserve, and promote women’s baseball.
