Tiger Thiccc Blended Whiskey is a U.S.-based whiskey brand founded in Atlanta by comedian and podcaster Brendan Schaub. It blends 80% straight bourbon sourced from MGP in Indiana, made from a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, with 20% Japanese whisky made from 45% malted barley and 55% grain. The blend is finished in mizunara oak barrels before bottling at 48% ABV (96 proof). It typically retails for $80 to $90.
This all comes together well on the palate, which kicks off with a touch of sweetness — lemon and orange, namely — then takes a more savory bent. Grassy, malty, and corny and almost equal proportions, that citrus peel pops after a moment on the tongue, infusing the more earth-driven attack with some zesty fruit.
