Blackened American Whiskey by Metallica

Blend of Straight Whiskeys | 45% ABV | 750mL

Process & Profile

Blackened American Whiskey is an award-winning blend of North American straight bourbon and rye whiskeys, carefully selected and matured before undergoing a unique sonic finishing process known as BLACK NOISE. During this stage, the whiskey is finished in brandy casks, where it is exposed to low-frequency sound waves that intensify wood interaction and deepen the final flavor profile. The brandy cask influence imparts soft fruit undertones that elevate the bourbons sweetness and the ryes spice, creating a bold and balanced expression.
