Blackened American Whiskey is a blend of sourced straight whiskeys distilled in Tennessee and Kentucky. Made in partnership with Metallica, the whiskey undergoes a unique sonic-enhancement process called Black Noise, using the band's music to enhance flavor extraction from ex-brandy barrels.
The cognac does edge out the whiskey a bit but it doesn’t overpower the bourbon notes which leaves the Blackened Whiskey feeling clean and mostly balanced.
The wood has done its work on the palate, as there is menthol and plenty of wood spices. But the sweetness makes an encore as well. A very solid whisky."
