Suffering Bastard

$195.00

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋

Our Mk. XI candle is one off. This is the first, and only, issue of this pour. The color, the scent, the form. We will never distribute this candle ever again.

Kentucky Bourbon infused Juniper with Allspice, Lime.

The Suffering Bastard cocktail was created in Egypt at the Shepheard's Hotel. Bartender Joe Scialom was looking to make a hangover drink for allied troops and according to the story made one as a "cure" for the suffering soldiers who complained about the poor quality of liquor in the area.

Both the drink and the hotel played a role in WWII. When the war was going well for the Nazis, German General Rommel allegedly said "I'll be drinking champagne in the master suite at Shepheard's soon." The allies did well however, and the drink was supposedly so popular with the troops that a telegram was sent asking for several gallons to be made and brought to the front lines.

Candle Care

As our candles are 100% soy wax, there are some crucial things you must be aware of when using, storing and looking after your brand new candle.

Lighting time

Allow the candle to burn right across the top layer of wax to avoid tunneling.
Minimum = 45 mins - 1 hour
Maximum = 4 hours

Wick Care

Our candles come with the wick already pre-trimmed, however, you should make sure your wick is trimmed to between 1/8″ – 3/16″ / 3.2mm – 4.8mm before lighting. If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick and the wick will extinguish.

Wooden wicks do need a little attention and tending to before each burn, similar to cotton wicks. Be sure to gently snap off the ash or burnt wood along the top edge of the wick and then light as usual.

If when burning the candle for a long period of time you notice the flame height getting too low, it may be necessary to tap off any excess ash or burnt wood along the top of the wick. The flame will then return to its proper optimal height.
