FEW Spirits and The Smashing Pumpkins have collaborated to introduce FEW Smashing Pumpkins Bourbon, a 93-proof straight bourbon infused with Midnight Rose black tea from Madame Zuzu's Emporium, which Billy Corgan and Chloé Mendel Corgan own. This partnership combines FEW's distillation expertise with the Pumpkins' avant-garde musical legacy, and it will surely delight spirit connoisseurs and fans of the band.
The FEW Smashing Pumpkins Bourbon offers a unique sensory experience with alluring aromas of rose water and honeydew melon, along with flavors of vanilla, caramel, and black tea. Award-winning artist Katelan Foisy designed the label, drawing inspiration from vintage tea tins and the Pumpkins' artistic aesthetic.
This partnership reflects the trend of musicians branching out into other creative ventures, especially into the spirit industry where they take product development into new unique, and artistic dimensions.
