Blackened Rye Whiskey is a bold and innovative expression crafted by the team behind Metallica, the iconic heavy metal band, in collaboration with the master distillers at Sweet Amber Distilling Co. This unique whiskey is inspired by the band's music and ethos, incorporating a distinctive aging process known as Black Noiseâ„¢ into its production.
During the finishing stages of aging, Blackened Rye Whiskey is subjected to a playlist of Metallica's music, played through specially designed speakers that agitate the barrels with low-frequency sound waves. This sonic enhancement technique is believed to influence the whiskey's maturation process, imparting it with a unique flavor profile and character.
