La Flor Dominicana’s Tony Gomez announced that he has collaborated with Forward/Slash Distillery to craft a whiskey intended to pair with premium cigars. The product is a blend of straight bourbon whiskey finished in Amburana and Armagnac casks and is titled “Bulls Breath”.
Tony Gomez said, “We went into this with the idea to create something distinct and memorable. However, never having blended a whiskey before, I imagined all kinds of directions to take the project and flavor notes that I didn’t even know were possible but the team at Forward/Slash heard and understood and then surprised me with dimensions of whiskey I had never experienced before.”
The exclusive unveiling of Bull’s Breath was experienced by a select group of guests during “The Golden Hour,” an event hosted by The Golden Purveyors at the 2024 PCA trade show in Las Vegas where the whiskey was presented by creators Tony Gomez, Jonathan Carney, and Michael Buffa of Forward/Slash Distillery. This event not only marked the debut of Bull’s Breath but also celebrated the enduring legacy and evolving journey of whiskey and cigar culture.
FORWARD/SLASH, founded by beverage industry veterans Tim Bradstreet and Michael Buffa, was born out of their mutual appreciation for whiskey. The brand is committed to preserving the spirit industry’s heritage while embracing innovation. Bradstreet, with his extensive background in bartending and beverage direction, and Buffa, the founder of the Orlando Whiskey Society and Buffa Bittering Company.
