For flavored bourbon drinkers and cocktail enthusiasts, it represents reasonable value given its award recognition and cocktail versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Shmallow Bourbon?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates Shmallow from the growing field of dessert-flavored whiskeys is Hotel Tango's deliberate approach to cocktail functionality — this bourbon was built from the ground up as part of the Unofficial HT Series to work in mixed drinks, not just as a novelty sipper. The ASCOT Awards Gold medal and 2022 Consumer Choice Silver medal validate that the flavor execution holds up under scrutiny. Its layered profile — moving from toasted marshmallow through crème brûlée and into campfire smoke — avoids the one-dimensional sweetness that plagues many flavored spirits. At 60 proof, it strikes a balance between enough bourbon backbone to anchor cocktails and enough approachability to drink simply over ice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hotel Tango","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839213400233,"sku":"38519","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Hotel-Tango-Shmallow-Toasted-Marshmallow-Bourbon__32643.jpg?v=1730518104"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/hotel-tango.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
