Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What is a "Hazmat" bourbon?
A: "Hazmat" is an informal term used by whiskey enthusiasts to describe a spirit that is 140 proof (70% ABV) or higher. The name is a playful nod to the "hazardous materials" shipping regulations for liquids with such a high alcohol content. These are rare and highly prized for their intense, uncut flavor.
Q: How should I drink a 140.2 proof bourbon?
A: With respect and caution! This is an extremely powerful bourbon. It is best enjoyed neat in very small sips to start. Many enthusiasts will then add a few drops of water incrementally to temper the alcohol and "open up" new layers of aroma and flavor.
Q: Is this a limited release?
A: Yes. As a single barrel, this is a one-of-a-kind release. Once the bottles from Barrel #A90 are gone, this specific bourbon will never exist again.
Q: Where can I purchase the New Louisville 'Hollywood Honey' barrel?
A: This is an exclusive single barrel selection. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory and availability.
