MACHINE HEAD Shoots Straight With New Shotgun Blast Whiskey

Machine Head is drawing on the lyrics to their classic 1994 track “Davidian” – “Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast” – for their brand new Shotgun Blast Whiskey. The whiskey is a blend of 11 year aged and 3.8 year aged bourbon, and is a mix of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. Though perhaps more importantly is that the whiskey comes in bottles that are shaped like shotguns. Honestly, it’s pretty cool.

“We are beyond stoked to be doing this,” said Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn. “As most of you know, Machine Head has always been a drinking band, from our first shows playing kegger parties, to sending out a hearty ‘cheers’ to 70,000 of our friends while headlining Hellfest last year, both Machine Head and the Head Cases like a drink or 3. So last year when the opportunity presented itself to deliver a premium bourbon whiskey, it was a bit of a no-brainer.”

Get it here. Machine Head will also hit the road across North America in April and May with Lacuna Coil, In Flames, and Unearth. The tour kicks off on April 5 at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA and wraps up at Prospera Place in Kelowna, BC on May 10. Tickets are available here.
