Shotgun Blast Whiskey - bourbon meets metal cult
Shotgun Blast Whiskey is more than just a bourbon - it's a statement. In collaboration with the legendary metal band Machine Head, a limited-edition whiskey set has been created that combines taste, design and band history in a spectacular way. The packaging: two bottles in the shape of sawn-off shotguns, including shot glasses in the shape of cartridges and an LED-lit collector's box. Inspired by the iconic refrain "Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast" from the song Davidian, this whiskey is a true tribute to the band and their loyal fans.
In terms of content, the set offers two bourbons - matured in new, burnt-out American white oak barrels. The combination of a strong 11-year-old whiskey with a fresh 4-year-old whiskey provides depth, spice and energy. And of course: 100% US craft DNA.
