Sin City Whiskey The Mint 400 is a limited edition American whiskey created to celebrate The Mint 400, the legendary Las Vegas off road race billed as The Great American Off-Road Race. Each year the race partners with a boutique American spirit brand to create a premium commemorative bottling for its racers, and this release pairs the event with Sin City Whiskey, a brand that draws its name and spirit from Las Vegas itself, the city nicknamed Sin City back when the first cartloads of whiskey rolled into town. It is a fitting match: as the makers note, American racing was born from running whiskey and moonshine, so a partnership between a desert racing institution and a Las Vegas whiskey brand celebrates that shared outlaw heritage. Bottled in a heavy vintage style glass bottle and wrapped in a bold custom designed label depicting the race, this limited edition was produced in a tiny batch and handed out to every team entered in the race, making surviving bottles a genuine collector's piece for racing fans and whiskey enthusiasts alike. The whiskey itself is a smooth, medium bodied American whiskey bottled at an easygoing 80 proof, with an approachable profile of light citrus, gentle grain, and soft vanilla that makes it an ideal celebratory pour to share with friends at the finish line. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite whiskey cocktail.
