Conjured by the dark minds of Matthew Lillard (Scream, Five Nights at Freddy’s) & Justin Ware (Bloodsucking Bastards), Macabre Spirits opens the gates for Hell is Not Mocked, a new, limited-edition release that pairs a 98-proof Texas whiskey with a brutal Western Gothic by bestselling author Christopher Buehlman (The Blacktongue Thief, Between Two Fires, Those Across the River).
Macabre Spirits is the first company devoted to crafting spirits for one of the most avid fandoms in the world: horror. Each release pairs a premium spirit with a spine-chilling tale from one of today’s leading horror voices — their first was Rare, Fine & Limited with Mike Flanagan (The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass).
This second release brings a new spirit and a new story. Distilled in Texas and bottled at 98 proof, this straight bourbon whiskey is as unrelenting as the land that shaped it. Hand-selected by master blender Molly Troupe to embody the Western Gothic ethos of “Hell is Not Mocked”, its flavor profile includes notes of leather and mighty oak followed by a bittersweet molasses. Just beneath the surface, a hint of mojito mint rises for a mildly cooling finish.
Set in 1882, “Hell Is Not Mocked” is a tale of blood, dust, and above all, vengeance. Written by best-selling author Christopher Buehlman, whose horror and dark fantasy tales include The Blacktongue Thief, Between Two Fires, Those Across the River, this Western Gothic takes you on a journey through fear that lurks in the unknowable.
