Blackened Whisky started as a collaboration between Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and Metallica, but when Dave passed away in 2018, Master Distiller Rob Dietrich joined the team in 2019 and now oversees the Blackened American Whiskey distilling process. A blend of hand-selected, well-aged North American bourbon & rye whiskeys, uniquely finished in black brandy casks and the earth-shattering music of Metallica. Each batch of whiskey is blasted with it's very own Metallica playlist, curated by the band themselves. Burnt caramel, oak and honey on the nose along with notes of cinnamon, allspice, dark fruit, clove and mint. The finish is long and smooth with a taste profile that is slightly creamy with hints of butterscotch, toffee and maple.

A four-grain, high-rye straight bourbon whiskey aged for a minimum of 4 years in virgin American oak barrels. Notes of honeysuckle and citrus which are balanced by a bright, seamless acidity.

Crimson in colour with aromas and flavours of brown sugar, baked apricot, wild strawberry, and nutmeg. Long finish.

Pungent notes of banana, guava and fried plantains are sultry and indulgent aromas. Deeply concentrated flavours of molasses, brown sugar, banana leaf, tobacco and dark chocolate wash over the palate.
