In the world of whiskey collaborations, you’ll have a tough time beating the new partnership between Vermont’s renowned WhistlePig Whiskey and Liquid Death. It’s called WhistlePig GraveStock Wheat Whiskey, and it’s matured with a spooky twist.
WhistlePig GraveStock Wheat Whiskey
This limited-edition collaboration is a wheat whiskey matured in American oak. But instead of the usual barrel or cask, it’s aged in oak caskets before being proofed down using Liquid Death Mountain Water.
“Many bottled water brands are just processed municipal tap water, but our Liquid Death Mountain Water comes from real American mountain ranges that produce some of the best water in the world,” Greg Fass, VP of Marketing at Liquid Death, says.
“Proofing an already delicious WhistlePig whiskey with our premium mountain-sourced water is the type of attention to detail that should take this bottle to the next level.”
While the whiskey itself is noteworthy, let’s return to the aging vessel. In the most metal way possible, it’s aged in a literal casket.
“The custom casket-shaped foeders where GraveStock Wheat Whiskey finds its final resting place are the first of their kind, and a bucket list experiment we – literally – went big on!,” Meghan Ireland, Head Blender at WhistlePig says.
“They add character in a subtle way that lets the nuance of the wheat whiskey shine. Wheat’s softness and easy style is rounded out with bright notes of honeysuckle, biscotti, and butterscotch.”
Where can I buy it?
GraveStock Wheat Whiskey is available for a limited time at liquor stores, bars, and restaurants throughout the US and online at shop.whistlepigwhiskey.com for the suggested retail price of $74.99 for a 750ml bottle.
