Jack Daniel's x Disaronno Velvet Hearth: Future Viral Sensation or Scorching Mess?

Jack Daniel's x Disaronno Velvet Fire: Future Viral Sensation or Hot Mess?

Within the spirits world, we’ve seen some spectacular wins—like Heaven Hill’s 13-year-old single-barrel bourbon, one of many rarest of 2020. Naturally, we’ve acquired to anticipate some losses too. Collaborations aren’t unusual—removed from it—however this new announcement from legendary whiskey model Jack Daniel’s and Italian liqueur maker Disaronno has us scratching our heads. It’s known as Velvet Hearth. It “combines 2 elements Disaronno Velvet and 1 half Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Hearth.” And it sounds completely nauseating.

Now we wouldn’t put ourselves within the camp of spirits drinkers that enjoys a spicy, milky drink. However then once more, we’re not precisely the goal demo. We’re a tad faraway from the faculty age bracket, and our beverage of alternative isn’t dictated by the most cost effective buzz.

Notably, the press launch quote from Disaronno cautiously avoids any phrases which may entice even the marginally refined drinker, like “scrumptious,” “tasty,” and even “refreshing.”

As an alternative it says: “The mixability of Disaronno Velvet mixed with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Hearth makes for a really distinctive tasting expertise that can intrigue many palates of spirits and cocktail lovers,” stated Ignacio Llaneza, vice chairman of Model & Commerce Advertising and marketing for Disaronno.

Intriguing certainly. It seems one would wish an iron abdomen—or a bevy of antacids to neutralize the aftermath of this liquor abomination.

We’ll persist with sipping on small-batch anejo tequila, a smoky single-barrel whisky or, hell, even a cut price bourbon round a campfire. Quaffing a milky atomic fireball or another loopy cocktail crafted by sadistic bartenders or advertising wizards (allow us to not overlook the Smoker’s Cough—Jägermeister and mayo) doesn’t actually get us jazzed.

However hey, we’ll give them the good thing about the doubt. We haven’t tasted it but, so possibly it’ll develop into a giant hit and encourage a legion of TikTok followers to create a problem. We’d definitely be fascinated about watching somebody take a shot or two of this…

Velvet Hearth is now accessible nationwide with a instructed retail worth of $49.99
