Fittingly, the limited edition has been named Rye the Lightning.
The expression, which is made up of Kentucky straight ryes aged between five and eight years, was double finished in Madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks for a period of two to 14 weeks each. As with the other whiskeys in the Blackened line, the rye also underwent the proprietary Black Noise sonic-enhancement process. In other words, it was blasted with the aforementioned six-times-platinum album while sitting in the finishing barrels.
“I absolutely love the high spice and earthy notes in American rye whiskey,” Dietrich said in a statement. “I wanted to play with those flavor profiles by bringing a symmetry of subtle flavor elements by combining not just one, but two different cask finishes to the whiskey, creating a complex balance of sweet and savory.”Metalheads may be interested to know that Dietrich and Metallica didn’t pummel the rye with the original version of, either.
“The vibe from the crowd at the first Orion Music Festival was electrifying,” bassist Rob Trujillo added. “And it’s really cool that we get to capture that energy in this release.” Fans can even download a digital version of the playlist, which features hits like hit singles “Fade to Black” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” by scanning a QR code on the Blackened website or on the bottle’s packaging.
Available at select retailers, Rye the Lightning will set you back around $70 a bottle. Bottoms up, thrashers.
