About Blackened Rye The Lightning Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Rye the Lightning is a limited-edition Kentucky straight rye whiskey that was double-cask finished in Madeira and Caribbean rum casks. The blend of ryes aged between 5 and 8 years was carefully crafted by Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich and is named after Metallica's sophomore album. The whiskey is then subjected to the proprietary process dubbed Black Noise. Working with Metallica and their long-time collaborators ― the innovating sound-engineering wizards Meyer Sound ― they created a special subwoofer that transfers vibrations efficiently through the casks. Naturally, tracks from the Ride the Lightning album were then played to the whiskey.Rye the Lightning with a bottle of this rocking whiskey!
About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.

With a balance of sweet and savory notes, this rye whiskey has aromas of dried figs, hay, pine, pear, and rum on the nose. Look for notes of caramel, clover honey, mint, corn, as well as plenty of baking spice, walnut, and wood on the palate.
