When Blackened whiskey hit the shelves in 2018, Sweet Amber Distilling Co. joined forces with renowned whiskey distiller Dave Pickerell and iconic heavy metal band Metallica. Blackened is a unique blend of premium North American bourbons and ryes, distinguished by its innovative finishing process. Collaborating with Meyer Sound, the sound-engineering experts behind Metallica's legendary concerts, a special subwoofer was designed to transmit vibrations through the aging casks. This proprietary method, known as Black Noise, involves playing Metallica tracks chosen for each batch by the band themselves to the whiskey. The vibrations help the liquid penetrate deeper into the wood, enriching the flavor profile. In 2023, a limited-edition variant called Blackened 72 Seasons Batch was introduced alongside Metallica's album of the same name. Naturally, the album was played to the whiskey using the Black Noise technique, adding a unique twist to the aging process. Buy it now!
