Virginia’s Catoctin Creek Distilling Co. continues its partnership with iconic heavy metal band GWAR with the recent release of a new batch of Ragnarök Rye, Oderus Edition.
A statement from Catoctin Creek notes that this whiskey commemorates the passing of GWAR’s legendary frontman, Oderus Urungus.
“With jubilation, we announce the Oderus Edition of Ragnarök Rye,” said GWAR guitarist, Pustulus Maximus. “Featuring art from the Scumdog himself, there is no more fitting beverage to consume before vanquishing your foes on the battlefield or at a small gathering, relishing in tales of conquest amongst your comrades.”
The whiskey maker called this special bottling of Ragnarök Rye a “bold and spicy tribute to Oderus’s larger-than-life personality and unapologetic irreverence.”
