New Brand

Elvis Whiskey

Elvis Whiskey is an inspired line of spirits modelled after the musician. Launched originally with a Rye Whiskey their new liquid is based on the star’s favourite treat. Midnight Snack is a 35 percent ABV whiskey that aims to taste exactly like a classic peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich. It’s said that Presley first enjoyed the unusual combination after a 1976 concert in Denver. He visited a local restaurant, Colorado Mine Company, for a bite to eat and ordered a Fool’s Gold Loaf sandwich with a massive amount of bacon. The Midnight Snack whiskey launch comes after a 2021 licensing agreement between Grain & Barrel Spirits and Elvis Presley Enterprises.
