The world of whisky has seen some exciting developments recently. From the release of a new bourbon by FEW Spirits in collaboration with The Smashing Pumpkins, to the launch of an exclusive whisky experience by The Macallan and The Balmoral Hotel Edinburgh, there’s no shortage of innovative and luxurious whisky experiences to explore.
The new bourbon, aptly named FEW Smashing Pumpkins Bourbon, is a unique blend of flavors, with a twist. Instead of using water to cut the bourbon to proof, FEW Spirits has used black tea, specifically Midnight Rose black tea from Madame Zuzu’s Emporium, a tea shop run by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and his wife Chloé Mendel Corgan. This unusual approach has resulted in a bourbon with a flavor profile that is both familiar and exotic, with notes of rose water and honeydew melon.
Meanwhile, The Macallan and The Balmoral Hotel Edinburgh have teamed up to offer an exclusive whisky experience, dubbed the ‘Horizon Whisky Experience.’ This luxurious experience includes a stay in the hotel’s presidential suite, a private tour and tasting at The Macallan Estate, and a personalized whisky concierge service. The pièce de résistance is a bottle of The Macallan Horizon, a rare and exclusive whisky that is sure to delight even the most discerning whisky connoisseur.
But what makes these whiskies so special? Is it the unique blend of flavors, the exclusive packaging, or the luxurious experiences that come with them? Perhaps it’s a combination of all these factors. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: these whiskies are truly exceptional and are sure to delight even the most seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
“Whether you’re making music, painting, blending tea, or distilling spirits, you’re making art,” said FEW founder and master distiller Paul Hletko in a statement. “As a Chicagoan, I felt a personal responsibility to match the raw, primal energy of the Pumpkins.”
The Macallan Horizon, on the other hand, is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. By partnering with The Balmoral Hotel Edinburgh, The Macallan has created an experience that is truly unforgettable.
“The Balmoral hotel has been a long-standing partner of The Macallan, both rooted in rich Scottish heritage and shared appreciation for outstanding hospitality,” said Edrington’s Neil Skinner.
Whether you’re a fan of rock music, luxury hotels, or simply great whisky, these new releases are sure to delight. So why not treat yourself to a bottle of FEW Smashing Pumpkins Bourbon or The Macallan Horizon? You deserve it.
