2024
BLACKENED® Rye The Lightning 2024 is a limited-edition Kentucky straight rye whiskey crafted from a blend of straight rye whiskeys hand-selected by Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich. The whiskeys are vatted and transferred for finishing to Madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks for 2-14 weeks each, where they undergo BLACKENED’s proprietary BLACK NOISE™ sonic-enhancement process.
This process uses low-frequency sound waves to enhance the whiskey's interaction with the casks, extracting more flavor. Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) and non-chill filtered, it offers tasting notes of green apple, barn hay, caramel, and banana bread on the nose, with a palate of pear, honeysuckle, muscovado, almond, cinnamon, sawn-wood, and waffle cone.
About Blackened
BLACKENED® Whiskey is a collaborative creation between the legendary metal band Metallica and Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich. This innovative whiskey blends North American bourbons and ryes, which are then finished in black brandy casks. A distinctive feature of BLACKENED® is its proprietary BLACK NOISE™ sonic-enhancement process, where low-frequency sound waves from Metallica's music are played during aging, enhancing the whiskey's interaction with the barrels and enriching its flavor profile.
The brand offers a range of expressions, including limited editions and special collaborations, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
