Blackened 72 Seasons is a blend of sourced American straight rye and bourbon whiskeys finished in black brandy barrels. Released in June 2023, this limited-edition whiskey honors Metallica’s "72 Seasons" album and M72 world tour. It undergoes a unique sonic-enhancement process called "Black Noise," where Metallica’s music is played at low frequencies for two to ten weeks to enhance flavor extraction from the barrel, per the brand. The whiskey has an ABV of 45% and is priced at $50.

Big, rich, raw rye spice, tons of character here blended with sweet apple, orange, lemon and plum character. It’s spicy, sweet, fruit forward and enticing.
Thin to medium presence on the palate, it’s jammy, fruit forward, spicy and loaded with pepper, clove, orange peel, apple bake, oatmeal, maple and plum and spice.
Long finish, delectable despite the lower proof: a nice blend of spice and sweet here with a long, apple driven finish.
Lovely stuff albeit not the most complex. I like it, and it’s a great showing from Blackened, but it’s not the best LE on the shelf.
