Metallica have released an addition to their Blackened American whiskey line.The new liquor Rye The Lighting, which is named after their iconic 1984 album ‘Ride The Lighting’, was crafted using low hertz frequencies from the band’s music to vibrate the barrels.According to Rob Dietrich, master distiller for the whiskey line, Metallica’s Rye the Lightning is crafted from Kentucky straight rye whiskeys aged between 5-8 years and then finished in Madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks for 2-14 weeks each.A post shared by BLACKENED® (@blackenedamericanwhiskey)The tasting notes include “dried fig, hay, pinewood, pear, and rum cake on the nose,” as well as “clover honey, mint, corn husk, sugar cane, walnut, and cinnamon”.The sonic enhancement process for the liquor involves barrels being placed in a room while the band’s music is played through special speakers.
For this specific batch, Metallica’s 2012 Orion Music performance in Atlantic City, New Jersey, rocked the barrels.The ‘Ride The Lightning’ portion of that set marked the only time the band had ever played that album live in its entirety.“I absolutely love the high spice and earthy notes in American rye whiskey!” the distiller shared about Metallica’s latest drink.
