![]() You can order the Blackened Cask Strength Volume 1 now (SRP $70) from websites like Flaviar. We review Blackened Whiskey, an American blended whiskey done in collaboration between Metallica and a now passed on master distiller that's been influenced in barrel by music from the legendary band. There will be at least one more release, details TBD. Volume 1 is bottled at 122.85 proof, Volume 2 at 122.09 proof, and Volume 3 at 122.3 proof. A collaboration between iconic heavy metal band Metallica and the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, this is a blend of American whiskeys, on average aged about seven years, and finished with sonic aging in ex-brandy barrelsyes, that means Metallica's music was played to the whiskey. There’s a lot going on with this whiskey. We have not had a chance to sample the whiskey, but the official tasting notes describe vanilla wafer, fig, and maple sugar on the nose walnut, caramel, brown sugar, and ancho chile on the palate followed by a cinnamon spice finish. The combination of Dave Pickerell, Metallica, black brandy casks, and a sonic enhancement process is equal parts strange and wonderful, with the resulting whiskey being crowd-pleasingly impressive. “Our goal was to create something unique and refined that would appeal to even the top notch whiskey experts.” And that comes from a guy who, according to a recent report, washes his hair with beer and Jägermeister to keep it lustrous.īlackened Cask Strength will now be released in “volumes,” so the first release will differ from future ones in terms of proof and flavor. “When creating Blackened, we didn’t want to create just another whiskey,” added Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. “You are drinking whiskey in its purest form unfiltered, uncut, and born straight from the barrel with one unapologetic purpose-to be savored.” “I absolutely love cask-strength whiskey,” said Dietrich in a statement.
