Blackened X Wes Henderson Whiskey

Prepare for an epic collaboration with Blackened X Wes Henderson Whiskey — a limited-edition release that blends artistry, innovation, and rock-and-roll spirit.

WHY BUY: This release combines two worlds: master-level whiskey craftsmanship and Metallica’s pioneering sonic energy.

A collectible bottle for connoisseurs and fans alike, it’s as much a piece of art as it is a whiskey.

By uniting innovative sound-wave finishing with Henderson’s deep expertise in cask finishing, this release pushes the limits of what whiskey can be. Each bottle is produced in small batches, ensuring quality and individuality.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: Critics call this collaboration “an unforgettable whiskey that hits all the right notes.” Whiskey reviewers highlight its balance of innovation and tradition, while Metallica fans celebrate it as a tribute to the band’s relentless creativity.
