Motörhead Whisky, Lemmy's own choice of whisky!

When Motörhead Whisky was launched October 1, 2015, it became an immediate success. First batch sold out in just a couple of weeks. People all over the world wanted to buy it. Sweden was first out and soon other countries was to follow. In Germany, many liquor stores are now selling it, people just loves this smooth "bourbonized" single malt from Sweden.

Angela D'Orazio, Master Blender / CNO, Chief Nose Officer explains: "These wonderful oakbarrels! I often come across fine barrels of whisky down in the mine, and here we have a bunch of great new American oak barrels that have matured a full five years. We talked about making a Swedish Malt Whisky with taste influences from Bourbon to the guys, - and there it was only waiting for us. For a little touch of something more, we added a small portion of whisky for six months ending on Oloroso oakbarrels."

Alcohol strength is 40% and the whisky is cool filtered, so no cloudiness should occur in the bottle or the glass, if the whisky is served at a lower temperature. In summary this becomes an enjoyable, easy to drink and easy oaky and spicy Swedish Single Malt Whisky.

Motörhead is the loudest band in the world and the biggest when it comes to producing their own alcoholic beverages.

Besides their extensive touring or being busy in the studio recording a new album, Motörhead take the time to take part in branding their own alcoholic beverages and became almost pioneers in crossing music with drinks. With beers, wines, vodka, cider and latest the Motörhead Whisky, Motörhead is using their best known logo in the rock world on the outside of the bottles paired with tasteful spirits inside to succeed in great sales. The first Whisky batch was sold out within 3 weeks; the Motörhead wine is an on going bestseller since it hit the market. The Vodka is as tasteful and straight as the black bottle is promising and be sure that the new beer and cider will hit the target market in no time around the world.


How come Motörhead does this? The answer is simple, most of the Motörhead fans enjoy beer, wine or whisky anyway and it seems natural to connect the “new” merch with the band.

‘It’s great to have our own range of alcoholic beverages and each of us has their favourite. I’m the one who enjoys the beer most, says Mikkey Dee.

Lemmy adds: As everyone knows the Vodka and Whiskey are just perfect for me and Phil says ‘I am the cider guy so it was natural to come out with the “Snaggeltooth” cider as well’

Sari Wilholm from Brands For Fans: ‘there are of course trends when it comes to drinks but for us it is very important that we create and taste the beverages together with the band and that they like themselves.
