Monster Mash Whiskey - Still Austin Whiskey Co.
sold out limited batch release monster mash whiskey from still austin whiskey co.

Monster Mash Whiskey

This 2020 special reserve series, aged 26 months, is a blend of just two 53-gallon whiskey barrels. We expect around a 500 bottle yield, and bottles will go on sale on October 31st at noon—at our South Austin Distillery only. We expect this release to sell out, so show up early!

The Monster Mash comprises an unholy medley of five grain sources: white corn, winterhawk wheat, Texas rye, malted barley and malted rye. Brought to life using an ancient barrel-aging technique known as Slow-Water Reduction, the only way to defeat this diabolical bourbon is to drink it under the stars with a coven of close friends.

How We Make Our Bourbon

We “raise” our barrels from birth to maturity using a labor-intensive philosophy known as slow-water reduction, which weds the bourbon to our local climate while maintaining the spirit’s connection to its original grains. Focusing on flavor and balance, the slow-water reduction technique extracts flavors from charred oak: while the barrels endure the wild swings of Texas weather, we add a little water each month to bring out more "mature" notes like vanilla and caramel.
