Blackened American Whiskey by Metallica

Blackened American Whiskey is more than a spirit it’s a full-force sensory experience created by the legendary band Metallica in collaboration with the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. This groundbreaking whiskey is forged using an innovative process known as Black Noise, where low-frequency sound waves from Metallica’s music are blasted into the barrels, intensifying interaction between whiskey and oak to extract deeper flavor and complexity.

The result is a bold, masterfully blended whiskey that combines the sweetness of bourbon with the spice of rye, finished in black brandy casks for a rich, layered profile unlike anything else in the world of American whiskey. Blackened is crafted for those who crave intensity, authenticity, and the spirit of rebellion in every sip.
