F.E.W Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Motor Oil

The company F.E.W Spirits comes from the city of Evanston, Illinois in Chicago. This bottling was created in collaboration between Master Distiller Paul Hletko and the American rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The whiskey blend consists of a bourbon matured in rum barrels, a bourbon matured in vermouth barrels and a wheat whiskey smoked with mesquite. Mesquite is a type of plant that is sometimes used to smoke barbecued meat. The resulting smoky flavour and aroma is slightly reminiscent of engine oil, but is much more subtle on the nose and palate than one might initially expect. This is how this F.E.W whiskey got its nickname Motor Oil.
