FEW Smashing Pumpkins Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In stock
In an innovative collaboration, FEW Spirits and The Smashing Pumpkins have unveiled a distinctive bourbon, meticulously crafted and brought to bottle strength using Billy Corgan’s own Midnight Rose Tea from his tea shop in Chicago, Madame Zuzu’s. This unique partnership – unlike any in the rock-whiskey world before – blends the bold flavors of our exceptional FEW bourbon with the avant-garde musical spirit of The Smashing Pumpkins, known for their influential alternative rock sound showcased in iconic albums like ‘Siamese Dream’ and ‘Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness.
This bourbon features the bold, sweet and spicy notes that are the hallmark of FEW, while boasting notes of rose water, sandalwood, caramel, vanilla and black tea. Our suggested serve is a neat or over a large rock while listening to the densely layered sounds from one of America’s original alternative rock bands.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with copper highlights and a touch of mahogany, exuding a warm, honeyed depth.
Nose
Floral and inviting, the nose blooms with rose water and soft sandalwood, sweetened by caramel and vanilla. Subtle spice warms the palate as black tea adds a dusky, refined note, giving this bourbon a poised, fragrant allure.
Palate
Bold sweetness and spice define the palate, offset by caramel and vanilla. Rose water lends a delicate bloom, while sandalwood and black tea weave a dusky, aromatic undercurrent. A rich bourbon core stays creamy, finishing with subtle oak and a long, refined afterglow.
Finish
Long and contemplative, the finish reveals a warm, honeyed spice that lingers with rose water and vanilla, tempered by caramel. Subtle sandalwood threads through, fading into soft black tea tannins for a silky, resonant warmth that invites another sip.
