Five years after the launch of a Motorhead branded whisky, the 40th anniversary of Ace Of Spades is being marked by the production of a limited batch of cask strength bourbon.
The new venture is a collaboration between Global Brews the branding agency behind Iron Maiden’s Trooper beer, Status Quo’s Piledriver ale, Slayer’s Reign In Blood wine and Ghost’s Juniper Gin and Hillrock, an award-winning distillery based in New York’s Hudson Valley.
The batch comes from two casks. The first produced 599 bottles and has an alcohol by volume count of 57.8%, while the second cask was responsible for 623 bottles with an ABV of 57.65%. 1222 bottles, although it’s claimed there’s only 1100.
