About Project

BLACKENED American Whiskey is the bold collaboration from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and Metallica. A blend of hand-selected, North American bourbons and ryes with an average age of 8+ years, uniquely finished in black brandy casks and the earth-shattering music of Metallica.

Using the proprietary BLACK NOISE finishing process, each batch of whiskey is blasted with its very own Metallica playlist, selected and arranged by the band members themselves. The low-frequency sound waves force the whiskey to penetrate deeper into the barrel, extracting more caramel, honey, and vanilla flavors from the wood. The result is a magnificently balanced whiskey, robust in flavor and ideal for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail.
