Blackened Blackened in Velvet Bag 750 ml

Blackened is an American whiskey brand co-founded with the band Metallica, blending bourbon and rye and finishing it using what the brand calls 'sonic enhancement' — aging casks vibrated with the band's music, alongside a finish in black brandy casks. This bottling comes packaged in a velvet bag rather than a standard box. The result is a blended whiskey with a darker, more dessert-like profile than a standard bourbon: dark fruit, brandy-like sweetness and baking spice layered over the base whiskey's caramel and oak. It's more of a novelty-forward release than a connoisseur's pick, aimed at fans of the brand as much as the whiskey itself.

How to drink Blackened

It works well in an Old Fashioned, where the brandy-cask sweetness plays nicely against bitters and a twist of orange.
