When we last left our friend, he was standing in a dark tunnel, holding a lit match beside a stack of HAZMAT crates and asking, “Now what do I do?”

Apparently, he took a little too long to answer.

One tiny spark later, the tunnel has plenty of light. The Runner is long gone, the dust trail has been replaced by smoke, and our resident super genius is sporting a freshly scorched coat. Still clutching what’s left of his match, he raises a sign with his most sensible plan yet: HELP.

As for what was in those crates? This 142-proof "hazmat" whiskey. Only a few bottles survived the blast, leaving us with one very short barrel—and our friend with some explaining to do.

The first chapter left us with a question. This one leaves us with one word: YIKES.

Tasting Notes by MadMexDrinks

Nose: Oak, cinnamon, and vanilla, light mineral 
Palate: the sweetness carries into the palate, hints of Luxardo cherry. Would make an excellent Old Fashioned. It doesn’t drink like it’s 142.32, I would have guessed around low to mid 120. 

Finish: unexpectedly long! The sweetness fades into a light mineral oakiness that lingers softly.
