Lynyrd Skynyrd to host NYE Party and the Tennessee Debut of their Hell House Whiskey
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 26, 2023 - Southern rock icons, Lynyrd Skynyrd, are gearing up to kick off the New Year with a bang as they bring their acclaimed Hell House Whiskey to the heart of Tennessee. Building on the triumph of their Jacksonville launch, the legendary band is set to deliver a high-voltage performance on CBS' 'New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash,' accompanied by exclusive bottle signings at Nashville Palace and Total Wine.
The festivities are set to commence on December 29, 2023, at Nashville Palace, an iconic venue that has hosted legendary performances throughout its storied history. Starting out as The Home to Stars of The Grand Ole Opry, the Nashville Palace stands as a true legendary Honky Tonk, welcoming both established icons and aspiring artists, embodying the spirit of Nashville's timeless musical heritage. Fans will have the chance to join the band in celebrating the Tennessee launch, with the pre-party featuring a meet and greet, exclusive giveaways, and the special opportunity for fans to have their Hell House Whiskey bottles personally signed by Johnny Van Zant and Rickey Medlocke. For those unable to attend the pre-party, the excitement continues as fans can head to Total Wine the next day to have their Hell House Whiskey bottles signed by Johnny Van Zant and Rickey Medlocke.
"We're excited to bring Hell House Whiskey to Tennessee and celebrate with our loyal fans right in the heart of Nashville, a city steeped in the vibrant tapestry of music history. Sharing the essence of Hell House with a community that truly embraces the spirit of music is a special honor for us," says Johnny Van Zant, the lead vocalist of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
In a groundbreaking collaboration with Bespoken, a trailblazing craft whiskey maker celebrated for its remarkable achievements and an impressive collection of over 160 medals in just three years, Lynyrd Skynyrd introduced Hell House in July 2023. This American whiskey pays homage to the iconic cabin where the band crafted numerous legendary songs. Hell House encapsulates the same dedication and bold character that Lynyrd Skynyrd brought to the world of rock and roll. Featuring a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malt, this exceptional whiskey boasts enticing notes of honeydew, sorbet, butterscotch, and allspice. With a robust 45% ABV, Hell House stands as a testament to the hardworking soul in each of us.
"We're thrilled to extend the triumph of Hell House Whiskey from our successful Jacksonville launch to the core of Tennessee. Hell House embodies the band's unwavering dedication, and commemorating this achievement in Nashville—an iconic city steeped in musical history—is a true privilege. We're enthusiastic about sharing this exceptional spirit with the lively Tennessee community as we kick off 2024," expressed Peter Iglesias, CEO of Bespoken.
