Blackened x Willett Cask Strength Rye Whiskey

The behemoths of heavy metal Metallica entered the spirits business with Blackened American Whiskey, a blend of bourbon and rye whiskeys with an emphasis on the former. It was carefully selected by the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell of WhistlePig fame, who is considered the founding father of craft distilling. Ever since he was a West Point student and later chemistry professor, Dave was interested in how sound could affect substances on a molecular level. They teamed up with Metallica and their long-time collaborators ― the innovating sound-engineering wizards Meyer Sound ― to create a special subwoofer that would transfer vibrations efficiently through the casks. They dubbed this proprietary process Black Noise, trademarked it, then proceeded to play tracks by Metallica ― chosen specifically for each batch by the band themselves ― to the whiskey. The vibration helps each drop of liquid seep deeper into the wood, extracting flavors in the process, one heavy riff at a time.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with plenty of rye spice, vanilla, toffee, and sweet dark fruit notes. It's pleasantly sweet and equally spicy on the palate with baking spices, fruit, dark chocolate, tobacco, and nuts. The finish is oaky with fruit and hints of citrus.
