Blackened Cask Strength Whiskey 750ml

Metallica. Dave Pickerell. Black Noise Finishing. Cask Strength.

Blackened American Whiskey is the collaboration between Metallica and the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell — one of the most celebrated figures in American craft whiskey. The Cask Strength expression is the most powerful release in the Blackened lineup: a blend of the finest American whiskeys finished using Blackened's proprietary "Black Noise" sonic enhancement process, where low-frequency sound waves from Metallica's music are blasted at the barrels during finishing to agitate the whiskey and accelerate its interaction with the wood. Bottled at full cask strength without dilution for maximum intensity and complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich caramel, dark fruit, toasted oak, and warm baking spice with the amplified intensity of cask strength bottling and Black Noise finishing
• Palate: Bold and deeply complex — dark caramel, dried fruit, baking spice, and a commanding oak structure at full cask strength proof
• Finish: Long and powerful with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a satisfying, sonically enhanced close
