Product description
In 2001, heavy metal band Slipknot released their second, and probably most popular, album, "Iowa" (the band was formed in 1995 in the state capital, Des Moines).
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this historic release, the band has once again partnered with Cedar Ridge Distillery, the first legal whiskey producer in Iowa since Prohibition. Slipknot Iowa Anniversary Whiskey is a blend of bourbon (40%) and rye whiskey (60%) aged for 3 to 4 years. Cedar Ridge bourbon is distilled from a mash of corn (74%), malted rye (14%) and malted barley (12%), while the rye whiskey is distilled from malted rye (51%), unmalted rye (34%), corn (12%) and malted barley (3%).
