Tasting Notes: Distilled in Texas and bottled at 98 proof, this straight bourbon whiskey is as unrelenting as the land that shaped it. Hand-selected by Master Blender Molly Troupe to embody the Western Gothic ethos of Hell Is Not Mocked, its flavor profile includes notes of leather and mighty oak followed by a bittersweet molasses. Just beneath the surface, a hint of mojito mint rises for a mildly cooling finish.

Story: Macabre Spirits is the first company devoted to crafting spirits for one of the most avid fandoms in the world: horror. Each release pairs a premium spirit with a spine-chilling tale from one of today’s leading horror voices. Bestselling author Christopher Buehlman penned this Western Gothic tale Hell Is Not Mocked exclusively for Macabre Spirits. In it, the dead rise up and come knocking for revenge in a sinister story that reminds us: Hell plays a long game. Acclaimed painter John Brosio brings the horror to life with original artwork featured on both the bottle and the book.

Macabre Spirits is the second brand from Find Familiar Spirits, the company founded by celebrity actor/entrepreneur Matthew Lillard (Scream, Five Nights at Freddy’s) and screenwriter Justin Ware (Bloodsucking Bastards) to deliver high-end collectible spirits steeped in artistry, storytelling, and terror, and follows on the heels of their smash success: Quest’s End Whiskey.
