Description

This is not just bourbon—it’s a duet of craft and culture. The Smashing Pumpkins collaboration brings FEW’s signature spicy-sweet whiskey into avant-garde territory with the infusion of Midnight Rose black tea, yielding an expression that’s as layered and emotive as the band’s soundscapes. Origins & Craftsmanship A hand-crafted creation by FEW Spirits of Evanston, Illinois, known for innovative small-batch whiskey. Starts with their flagship Straight Bourbon mash bill: 70% corn, 20% rye, 10% malted barley. Post-distillation, bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV) using Midnight Rose black tea—crafted by Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins and sourced from his tea shop, Madame Zuzu’s. This creative infusion approach is part of FEW’s unconventional method of using an ingredient other than water to proof—echoing their past playful experiments. Tasting Profile Aroma & Nose: Richly inviting, combining rose water and black tea with classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, sandalwood. Palate: Smooth and aromatic, with delicate hints of rose and lemon peel, sweet orange slice candy, lingering spice, and subtle floral memory. Finish: Long and evocative—notes of tea-driven rose fade into gentle oak spice and warmth, making for a memorable, contemplative finish.
