FATHOUSE BACON FAT WHISKEY- GOLD MEDAL/92PTS

As chief of sales, Shannon spends a lot of time visiting restaurants and trying their cuisine and cocktails. The idea for FatHouse came about when his friend introduced him to fat-washed cocktails at a house party. With plenty of access to bacon, Shannon decided to see if he could put bacon in whiskey, and it worked.Fat-washed whisky starts with cooking the bacon, separating the liquid fat, and then straining out waste and "floaties." The fat is then melted a second time and poured into the whiskey vat, where it sits for about five days. After stirring, the fat will rise to the top and be filtered out of the whiskey.

FatHouse Bacon Fat Flavored Whiskey retails for $49. It recently received a Gold Medal with 92 points at the 2023 North American Bourbon and Whiskey Competition. In July 2023, The NABWC showcased the FatHouse whiskey at a Trade and Media tasting in New Orleans during the "Tales of The Cocktail ™ Festival.

Experts Tasting Comments:
“If you like bacon and whiskey, this is it!” “Finishes with salty, smoky bacon.”
