No 9 Iowa Whiskey Small Batch is a blend of straight bourbon and rye distilled at Cedar Ridge in Iowa using estate-grown corn. Aged 3 to 4 years in new charred American oak barrels, it was blended by Slipknot co-founder and percussionist Shawn Crahan. It rests at 45% ABV.
The palate mingles citrus and spice with orange marmalade, cinnamon, white pepper, and fresh ginger. The finish is nutty and warm with persistent peppery spice and toasted oak. Its nuance shines brighter without water.
