WhistlePig + Liquid Death Whiskey Collab GraveStock: Where Rebellion Meets Refinement Meets the Cemetery
This summer, two cultural disruptors—Liquid Death and WhistlePig—have teamed up to drop one of the boldest spirit collaborations yet: GraveStock Wheat Whiskey. It’s a whiskey that dares to live loud and embrace the darker side of creativity—all while delivering a smooth, flavorful sip.
A cask(et) to die for
GraveStock’s story begins in America’s heartland and finishes in a place you’d never expect: a 380‑gallon “casket‑shaped foeder.” Initially aged as any fine wheat whiskey would be, the spirit makes a detour during its final few weeks into these custom, charred oak vessels. The result? A subtle wood spice with enough char influence to bring a smoky backbone—but it never veers into heaviness. It’s balanced, bold, and undeniably memorable.
Head Blender Meghan Ireland explains that these casket foeders were “the first of their kind” and a “bucket-list experiment we literally went big on.” She says they “add character in a subtle way that lets the nuance of the wheat whiskey shine”—and critics seem to agree, noting delicate notes of honeysuckle, biscotti, and butterscotch
It’s not just whiskey — it’s a statement
Pairing this aged-in-a-casket whiskey with Liquid Death’s mountain-sourced bottled water is a stroke of marketing brilliance. Greg Fass, Liquid Death’s VP of Marketing, puts it best: proofing a premium whiskey with “real American mountain” water is exactly the attention to detail that takes a bottle to the next level.
It’s no wonder this mash-up perfectly mixes WhistlePig’s rebellious experimentation with Liquid Death’s tongue-in-cheek, anti-establishment swagger. As both brands continue making waves in their categories, the result is a “bulletproof expression of brand synergy.:
Not gimmicky — just good
But is it just smoke and mirrors? Not at all.
WhistlePig describes the tasting notes as “honeysuckle, butterscotch, biscotti” with a medium-length finish showcasing black pepper and oak char. On the nose: “caramel, fresh bread crust, lemongrass, honey”—an inviting bouquet that transitions to a well-rounded palate with herbal sweetness and peppery warmth … with no bothersome lingering scent of embalming fluid.
At 86 proof (43% ABV), it’s light enough to be fun in cocktails, while still having the body and edge to stand on its own—keeping true to the brand’s promise that “Life is short. Drink the best.”
Good enough for the funeral home bar
GraveStock can go full rebel—sipped neat or over a big ice cube, you can savor the complex layering of flavors. But the real magic happens when it’s brought into one of these to-die-for collab cocktails:
