Perhaps without equal whiskey and metal combination?! A unique collaborative creation between Metallica and the late, great, Dave Pickerell. Blackend whiskey is a combination of straight whiskies of varying ages, sourced from around North The united states (Whistlepig is rumoured to have been one) which were vatted together and finished for as much as 10 weeks in Black Brandy casks.

If that wasn’t interesting enough, right through that finishing period the casked whiskey has subwoofers attached and the vibrations from the music played (playlists picked by and featuring Metallica) influence the maturation style of the whiskey, dubbed Black Noise!

Each individual batch has a different playlist associated with its maturation, this, Batch 091 was once chosen by drummer Larrs Ulrich and featured the next songs 1. Creeping Death 2. The God That Failed 3. Bleeding Me 4. Sabbra Cadabra 5. Master of Puppets 6. Until It Sleeps 7. The Judas Kiss 8. Sweet Amber

A sweet nose with caramel, honey, oak and a hint of spice. At the palate cloves, allspice, mint, honey, cinnamonb and a fruity hint of apricot dominate. The long and gentle finish could be very creamy with hints of maple, toffee and again honey. A surprisingly pleasurable whiskey from starting to end.
