In Collaboration with GWAR.
The mad scientists at Catoctin Creek conducted experiments on aging the blood of GWAR in barrels made from the different types of wood scorched by the comet's blast. They used the rarest of grains and watered their mash bill with the melted Antarctic ice to create a 92 strength rye whisky, pot stilled and then aged in charred new white oak. Members of GWAR then hurled the whiskey barrels into the orbit of the moon, causing contraction to take place as the barrels spun under the influence of the deathly coldness of space and the life-giving heat of the sun. The end result was Ragnarök Rye, an exquisite beverage graced with notes of cherrywood and sugar maple to produce subtle flavors unheard of in a traditional rye whisky.

Made in collaboration with Virginia-based band GWAR, this 100% rye whiskey was finished with sugar maple and cherrywood. The nose shows signs of herbal cough syrup, clove, green almonds, and orange marmalade. The palate is piney, with lemon oil, mint, and bitter chocolate all present. Water brings out black pepper and coffee bean. The finish is short but satisfying, with more herbs and cocoa powder. Its consistent and tasty, if at times a tad simple in its construction.
