Slipknot No.9 Iowa Whiskey

In the words of Forbes: No clowning around with this ‘really good’ Whiskey.

In 2019, a certain American extreme metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, partnered with a certain award-winning Cedar Ridge Distillery, also from Iowa. And Slipknot No.9 Iowa Whiskey was born. Mainly from corn that’s grown at the Cellar Ridge Distillery farm in Winthrop, Iowa. Blended by percussionist Shawn Crahan, whom you probably know as “the Clown”, this is a really good blend of Straight Bourbon and Straight Rye Whiskeys. The ratio is 60% 3-4YO Bourbon and 40% 3-4YO Rye. The name comes from the number of band members. While some people might = sh*t, this blend certainly = gold all the way. We know a good celeb collab when we see one. Great for true Maggots and other Whiskey die-hard fans alike.

Cedar Ridge Distillery started as Cedar Ridge Winery by Jeff Quint in 2005 where they distilled some of the grape juice into Brandies. The Whiskey needed to age a few years before the first Bourbon release came out in 2010. And yes, the pundits took notice, naming them "2017 Distiller of the Year" and "Best American Craft Whiskey" in 2016. They meticulously oversee every step of production from grain to glass.
