Master Distiller extraordinaire, Dave Pickerell, in collaboration with Metallica, has unveiled the next evolution of whiskey with BLACKENED. The spirit isn't just inspired by the iconic banda's music, it is literally shaped by it. The team behind BLACKENED has taken the concept of sonic-enhancement and turned it into BLACK NOISEa™, a patent-pending process that uses Metallica's own music to shape the flavor of this unconventional American whiskey. The whiskey is pummeled by sound, causing it to seep deeper into the barrel, where it picks up additional wood flavor characteristics.
