Production
Blackened American Whiskey by Metallica is a special drink for several reasons. First of all, it's the first drink the metal legends bring to the market on their own. Nowadays it's a given that a rock band brings out their own whisky, vodka or even gin, not to mention beer. Just like the other rock-backed drinks in our range, Blackened American Whiskey is not just some random product only with the band's logo slapped onto the bottle. In March 2018 Metallica announced the opening of their own whiskey distillery. They found in Dave Pickerell a worthy master who understood exactly what the band wanted to create.
Pickerell has a doctorate in chemical engineering and has gained a foothold in the world of spirits in particular. He developed unique distilling and maturing processes - exactly the right man for Metallica Whiskey. This is a blend of various bourbons, ryes and other North American whiskeys selected by Pickerell. The mixture is filled into black brandy barrels and - an absolute novelty - is then exposed to a low frequency version of "Blackened", the opening track of the 1988 album "...And Justice For All". This method influences the molecular interactions and gives the blend a unique finish. The bottle label of the Blackened American Whiskey is decorated accordingly by the frequency of the song in a visualised version. The legendary cover of "Whiskey In The Jar" by Metallica might have been more fitting thematically, but that might have become a bit too cheerful for the whiskey
