The Whiskey Collective | River Roots Barrel - 142.31 Proof
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 The Runner is long gone, the dust trail has been replaced by smoke, and our resident super genius is sporting a freshly scorched coat.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.
