FEW Smashing Pumpkins Bourbon Whiskey is produced with a classic mash bill of 70% corn, 20% rye and 10% malted barley, aged for at least 4 years in charred American oak casks. The real peculiarity of this edition, however, lies in the reduction of strength (proofing): instead of using water to bring the spirit to bottling strength, FEW chose to use “Midnight Rose Tea”, a rose-scented black tea blend from Madame Zuzu’s Emporium, the tea shop owned by frontman Billy Corgan and his partner.
This creative choice not only adds unusual and delicate aromatic notes (such as rose, sandalwood and hints of black tea) to the classic bourbon structure, but also reflects the eclectic and unconventional soul of the band, making this bottle a true artistic expression.
