MACHINE HEAD Unveils New Whiskey In Shotgun-Shaped Bottles

MACHINE HEAD has revealed the launch of their new Shotgun Blast Whiskey.

Batch #1 Limited Edition Collector’s Box, comes with 2 (two) Sawed-off Shotgun shaped bottles and 2 (two) Shotgun Shell shot glasses. An ultra-premium blend of 11 year aged and 4 year aged bourbon. 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley. This exceptional mash bill and aging process was handpicked by Robb Flynn himself, coming in at a powerful 94 proof, delivering a shot of rich bourbon flavor straight to your pallet.

Flynn comments: “We are beyond stoked to be doing this. As most of you know, MACHINE HEAD has always been a drinking band, from our first shows playing kegger parties, to sending out a hearty “cheers” to 70,000 of our friends while headlining Hellfest last year, both MACHINE HEAD and the Head Cases like a drink or 3.  So last year when the opportunity presented itself to deliver a premium bourbon whiskey, it was a bit of a no-brainer”

Aged in first use, charred American oak. The nose opens with layers of caramelized vanilla, toasted oak, and dark honey, complemented by notes of leather, baking spices, and a touch of dark cherry. On the pallet waves of rich toffee, brown sugar and toasted pecan, meet nutmeg and clove, balanced by the younger bourbon’s bright butterscotch and caramel corn. Hints of dark chocolate, black pepper, and dried orange peel add depth, while a velvety mouth feel leads to a long, warming finish of cinnamon spice, and smoky oak.

MACHINE HEAD will drop their 11th studio album, Unatoned, on April 25, 2025. The album will be released through Nuclear Blast/Imperium Recordings.
