Anthrax has just announced a limited-edition bourbon brand whose name was inspired by the late Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

The Healer is produced by Hillrock Estate Distillery located in New York's Hudson Valley Highlands. The bourbon's name, itself, comes from a phrase Dimebag would often say.

In the bourbon's item description on Mash & Grape, "'Booze is the healer' is something the late Dimebag Darrell would regularly say to the band when they were on tour together, and if the guys arrived for soundcheck a little hungover, Dimebag would be standing there with a knowing Cheshire Cat smile and a shot of whiskey at the ready."

Only 360 bottles of The Healer will be available for purchase with the asking price set at $140. For complete details, go to MashAndGrape.com.
