About this bottle

Like the first limited edition Rye the Lightning bottling released in 2022, this release was inspired by Metallica's 6x platinum sophomore album Ride the Lightning. Here, a selection of straight rye whiskeys were chosen by Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich and then vatted together. Then the blend was finished in Madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks for 2-14 weeks each while the barrels underwent the brand's proprietary BLACK NOISE sonic enhancement process. Bottled at 92 proof without chill-filtration, it's available nationwide beginning April 2024. (SRP $69.99)
