More Information

BLACKENED Whiskey celebrates Metallica’s much anticipated new album with the Limited Edition 72 Seasons Batch using the new album in the sonic-enhancement process. This limited-edition bottle highlights elements inspired by the album including a striking yellow capsule with the signature Metallica M, and the 72 Seasons logo prominently displayed on the front of the bottle.

“It’s kind of like we’re bottling key Metallica memories with these limited-release batches. We did it with S&M2 and The Black Album and now we’re doing it with 72 Seasons. It’s awesome to share this experience with the band and the fans.” Rob Dietrich, BLACKENED’s Master Distiller & Blender.

This award-winning whiskey is a marriage of the finest North American straight bourbon & rye whiskeys and uniquely finished and sonically-enhanced in brandy casks, using the BLACK NOISE™ process to extract more flavor from the wood. The sweetness of the bourbon is perfectly balanced with the savory spice offered by the rye. The whiskey is further enhanced with the brandy cask finish adding notes of apricot, which plays perfectly alongside the honey and caramel notes of the blend.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Burnt caramel, oak & honey.

Palate: Honey, cinnamon, allspice, dark fruit, clove & mint.

Finish: Long and smooth, slightly creamy with hints of butterscotch taffy, maple & honey.

"A blend of straight whiskeys that's finished in brandy casks using proprietary “sonic enhancement.” Sweet vanilla, lemon cream pie, spiced apricots, ginger, cracked corn, and licorice start off the nose, balanced against a soft influence of new oak. The palate is sweet and well-textured, with notes of spice, candied apple, cooked plums, chocolate nuttiness, and a fair amount of barrel influence. There's some good length on the finish, which offers sweet flavors of light chocolate, along with lingering spice and layered oak." - David Fleming, Whisky Advocate
