Rolling Stone: Metallica Unveil ‘Rye the Lightning,’ a Straight Rye Named After Iconic Sophomore Release
Metallica have unveiled the latest expression in their BLACKENED American Whiskey line, dubbed “Rye the Lightning.”
The new Kentucky straight rye whiskey is a play on words, inspired by Metallica’s sophomore album, Ride the Lightning. The new expression is finished in Madeira and rum casks, and undergoes the same “Black Noise” sonic-enhancement process (where the barrels are pummeled by low hertz frequencies of Metallica’s music) as other offerings in the Metallica and BLACKENED portfolio.
