Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey Collaborates with Old Line Spirits
Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey has made waves in the spirits industry with its latest release, the 2024 edition of Rye the Lightning. This limited edition blend of straight rye whiskeys, double cask finished in Madeira and rum casks, has been receiving high praise from whiskey enthusiasts and critics alike.
At the heart of this collaboration is the innovative approach taken by Blackened Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich. By hand-selecting a blend of straight rye whiskeys and utilizing cask finishing techniques, Dietrich has crafted a whiskey with a unique flavor profile. The whiskey undergoes Blackened’s proprietary Black Noise sonic-enhancement process, resulting in a truly exceptional drinking experience.
The 2024 edition of Rye the Lightning is a testament to the success of the initial release in 2022. With notes of green apple, barn hay, caramel, and banana bread on the nose, and pear, honeysuckle, muscovado, almond, cinnamon, sawn-wood, and waffle cone on the palate, this whiskey offers a complex and satisfying taste.
Metallica’s lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett, expressed his excitement about the release, stating, ‘They say that lightning never strikes twice, but the second release of Rye the Lightning proves otherwise.’ The band’s connection to the whiskey is evident in the attention to detail and creativity that went into crafting this exceptional spirit.
To experience Rye the Lightning for yourself, the whiskey is now available with an SRP of $69.99. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to savor a truly unique and innovative whiskey.
