Shot Strong

El Shot Gun es un intenso trago corto que hay que beber de una sola vez. Los licores fuertes y los ingredientes únicos se combinan para crear un sabor explosivo, y como indica su nombre, lo esencial es disfrutarlo rápida y fuertemente. Es una bebida perfecta para desafiar con amigos en un bar.

History & Origins

The Shot-gun is a modern American whiskey shot of disputed origin, likely emerging from bar culture in the American South and Midwest where multiple whiskey brands are considered a point of regional pride. The combination of Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and Wild Turkey represents three of America's most iconic whiskey brands, and blending them in a single shot reflects a playful one-upmanship common in bar culture. No single creator or establishment is credited.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense and complex, combining bourbon's vanilla and caramel notes with Jack Daniels' maple-charcoal character and Wild Turkey's spicy, high-rye profile. Palate: Bold and fiery, with layers of vanilla, oak, caramel, and slight smoke; Wild Turkey's float delivers an additional burst of high-proof intensity. Finish: Long, warm, and drying with persistent oak spice and caramel.

Pro Tip

Chill all components beforehand to slightly blunt the intensity of the high-proof whiskeys and make the shot more approachable.
