The label art was drawn by Dave Brockie, who played Oderus Urungus, and the bottle is crowned with a commemorative pewter top. The release was limited to around 200 cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of rye spice, the soft sweetness of maple and cherrywood and a touch of rum-cask richness gives a bold, characterful whisky fit for its namesake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Brockie's artwork and the sculpted pewter top, it is a true collector's piece for whiskey and metal fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat, on the rocks or in a rye Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRye whiskey is defined by its grain: a mash of at least 51% rye, which gives a spicier, drier and more peppery character than corn-led bourbon. Rye's bold profile makes it the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, yet well-aged and higher-proof ryes reward slow sipping just as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 100% rye mash bill is the most intense expression of the grain, with no corn or barley to soften it, so the flavour of the rye itself comes through clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% rye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood:\u003c\/strong\u003e White oak, sugar maple and cherrywood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rum-finished barrel in the blend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Catoctin Creek Distilling Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ragnarök Rye, Oderus Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% rye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e White oak, sugar maple and cherrywood, with a rum-finished barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Virginia, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat, on the rocks or in a rye Manhattan.
