Three Chord Backstage Series Halestorm Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2024) 75cl
In this moment of purgatory
In between Life and Death,
Beauty and violence
Survival and struggle
And Rock and Roll
I will savor the flavor, and let it dance on my tongue for as long as I can
Just to taste the sweet before the sting.
Lzzy Hale
Just as Halestorm blends many influences to create their unique sound, this Backstage Series collaboration melds very different styles. Two straight bourbons from Tennessee and Indiana were blended and then moved into a barrel that previously held "Cherry Bounce", a unique spirit made with cherries, whiskey, and baking spices. The time in the "Cherry Bounce" barrel allowed this bourbon to pick up some very subtle cherry notes. The end result is an easy drinking yet complex blend of whiskeys with notes of rich baking spices, dark sugars, and roasted nuts.
The packaging is Halestorm-inspired too: the cherry blossoms on this label are inspired both by the whiskey and a jacket worn by Lzzy Hale.
