SLIPKNOT NO. 9 IOWA WHISKEY

‘

Detailed Description
What’s being called Slipknot N0. 9 Iowa Whiskey, according to those behind it, is the result of Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan desire to have a whiskey tied to his immensely popular brand. This is a whiskey (Fred Minnick describes it as “a blend of straight rye and straight bourbon”) that’s made in part from local Iowa corn grown on Cedar Ridge’s family farm. It has a sweet and spicy flavor profile balance due to the increased amount of corn & rye in the mash bill (56% corn, 36% rye and 9% malted barley). “Slipknot and Cedar Ridge Distillery – two groups of people born and raised in Iowa, and committed to quality and hard work,” said Crahan in a prepared statement. “We collaborated on No. 9 Whiskey, which in addition to Iowa corn, gets some extra spice from its rye content. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Live life, and always be safe.”
Distillery Information
Cedar Ridge was the first licensed distillery in Iowa since Prohibition. After releasing its first batch of whiskey in 2010, Cedar Ridge Distillery quickly became a nationally recognized leader in craft spirits, winning multiple awards such as American Distilling Institute’s “2017 Distiller of the Year” or “Best American Craft Whiskey” at the 2016 New York World Spirits Competition.
