Blackened - Rye The Lightning 90 Proof (750ml)

This release from the Blackened American Whiskey brand begins as a blend of 5-8 year old Kentucky straight rye whiskeys, selected by Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich.  This rye is then finished in madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks for another 2-14 weeks. Like all Blackened whiskeys, the barrels of this rye were exposed to its proprietary "Black Noise" sonic enhancement process. The low hertz frequencies sound waves visibly shake the finishing barrels, thus causing greater interaction between the whiskey and the wood, thereby extracting more flavors and colors. During the rum finishing the playlist used consisted entirely of songs from Metallica's Ride the Lightning album. But instead of playing the original album, the tracks played were from a live 2012 festival performance which the only time the band has ever played the album live in its entirety. And the songs where played in reverse order.
