SLIPKNOT NO.9 IOWA WHISKEY SMALL BATCH 0.7L WHISKEY FROM THE USA CREATED BY MASKED MUSICIANS

Slipknot No.9 Iowa Whiskey Small Batch – the uncompromising character of American whiskey inspired by the energy of Iowa.

Slipknot No.9 Iowa Whiskey Small Batch is a distinctive American whiskey created in collaboration between the heavy metal band Slipknot and Cedar Ridge Distillery in the state of Iowa. This spirit reflects both the heritage of the region and the intense, uncompromising identity of the band itself. Production is based on a craft approach, local ingredients, and attention to every stage – from mashing to maturation in oak barrels.

The base of this whiskey is a carefully selected mash bill with a high corn content, complemented by rye and malted barley, giving it a characteristic balance between sweetness and spicy sharpness. The local environment also plays a key role – the climate of Iowa, with distinct temperature fluctuations, influences the intense interaction between the distillate and the barrel, accelerating maturation and deepening the flavor profile.

Slipknot No.9 matures in new and small, charred American oak barrels, resulting in a rich aroma and deep color. The aging process takes place under controlled conditions, while fully utilizing natural temperature changes that “work” in favor of the spirit – expanding and contracting the wood, thereby enhancing the extraction of vanilla, caramel, and spice notes. The result is a whiskey with a bold structure and intense character.
