Toasted Marshmallow Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Swiss Miss and Hotel Tango Distillery Concoct the ’Shmallow Whiskey

— October 2, 2024 — Lifestyle
Swiss Miss is a comfort drink company and it has joined forces with Hotel Tango Distillery to create the ’Shmallow whiskey.' It is a toasted marshmallow libation that brings a familiar sense of sweetness to the palette. The distillery is veteran-owned and it adds depth to the finely crafted bourbon drink.

It has 30% ABV which fuses a touch of indulgence and sophistication. The whiskey also elevates some notes of chocolate and toasted marshmallows that are perfect with a smokey undertone. In terms of the branding aesthetic, the creative agency Young & Laramore has created a unique style with a vintage flair; the team ensured to merge both of the contributing brands' aesthetics including the Hotel Tango cat mascot.
