World Whiskey Society (WWS) recently heated things up with its latest release, the Wyatt Earp 13-Year-Old American Whiskey Hazmat Edition, bottled at 160 proof.
Hazmat, a term used for whiskey bottled at 140 proof and up, signifies an intense whiskey so potent that it requires special handling for air transport. Aged for 13 years, this expression is crafted with a mash bill of 73% malted barley, 14.9% malted rye, and 12.1% malted wheat.
“This latest release is truly pushing the boundaries of what whiskey can be,” said Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. “It is best suited for those who truly appreciate intricacy and intensity, and it embodies the spirit of Wyatt Earp – bold, unapologetic, and legendary.”
“Achieving balance at such a high proof is no easy task, but we wanted to create something that would truly push the limits of flavor,” added Chris Barton, Master Blender of World Whiskey Society. “We wanted to create a high-proof whiskey that didn’t sacrifice complexity or nuance. The Wyatt Earp Hazmat is bold, yet refined – much like its namesake.”
World Whiskey Society’s Wyatt Earp 13-Year-Old American Whiskey Hazmat Edition is now available for $249.
