Blackened American Whiskey by Metallica is a bold fusion of music, craftsmanship, and innovation. This 750 mL bottle showcases a masterfully blended whiskey composed of hand-selected bourbons and ryes, carefully finished in black brandy casks and intensified by the signature BLACK NOISE™ sonic aging process. Using low-frequency sound waves from Metallica’s own music, the barrels vibrate to enhance wood interaction—resulting in a whiskey as powerful and layered as the band that helped create it.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, this bottle is a must for music lovers, whiskey collectors, and anyone who appreciates bold flavor with a rock 'n' roll soul.
