Blackened Rye “The Lightning” (Double Cask: Madeira & Rum Finish)
Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey | 90 Proof (45% ABV) | 750mL
Process & Profile
Blackened Rye “The Lightning” is a limited-edition release that blends 5–8-year-old straight rye whiskeys finished in two distinct cask types. First, the whiskey is aged in Madeira wine casks, then moved to Caribbean rum barrels for further finishing. During this second phase, the barrels are treated with Black Noise™, a sonic enhancement process that uses low-frequency sound waves to increase interaction between spirit and wood. Bottled at 45% ABV, this expression delivers a multi-dimensional profile full of spice, fruit, and layered sweetness.
