Introducing the Blackened 'Rye The Lightning' Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 2024 Edition, a groundbreaking collaboration between Metallica and master distillers. This limited-edition rye whiskey is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their commitment to pushing boundaries in both music and spirits.
Crafted using a unique blend of hand-selected rye whiskeys, each batch of Blackened 'Rye the Lightning' is expertly finished in Caribbean and Madeira Oak Barrels, imparting deep, complex flavors that are further enhanced by Metallica's proprietary Black Noise sonic-enhancement process. The whiskey is pummeled by the low hertz frequencies of Metallica's epic track "Ride the Lightning," creating a singular expression that embodies the band's uncompromising spirit.
On the nose, Blackened 'Rye the Lightning' offers bold aromas of spicy rye, dark fruit, and hints of vanilla and caramel. The Caribbean cask finish, alongside the Madeira barrels contributes to a palate that is full-bodied and intense, with notes of black pepper, clove, and cinnamon, balanced by the richness spicy rye finish. The whiskey concludes with a long, warming finish that lingers with the essence of Metallica's legendary music.
