There's a lot of caramel right underneath the char, so the thing I'm going for is pulling some extra wood caramel out. "That's where the wood sugars get hot enough to caramelize but not hot enough to burn. "Right near the surface is the wood caramel, so when you burn the barrel, you make char and right behind the char there's what people call the red layer," he said. Pickerell told Rolling Stone that the brandy casks contain a lot of wood chemicals. But what truly makes Blackened is "Black Noise" - billed as a patent-pending, "sonic-enhancement" process that uses METALLICA's music to help "shape the flavor" of the whiskey. We felt it was important to be able to look our fans in the eyes and go, 'This is something that we started from the beginning and it's something that has at least, for better or worse, a METALLICA touch to it.'"īlackened was created by acclaimed master distiller and blender Dave Pickerell, who worked at Maker's Mark before his current position at WhistlePig. Check out the review below.ĭrummer Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone about METALLICA's decision to launch its own Sweet Amber Distilling Co.: "We didn't want to just get in the business with somebody who had made whiskey and slap a METALLICA label on it. The spirit is a blend of American bourbon, rye, and whiskey that wasn't just barrel-aged, but also sound-aged to the group's own music. Scott from the YouTube channel My Bourbon Journey has posted a detailed review of METALLICA's first-ever spirit, dubbed Blackened American Whiskey after a track on the band's 1988 album ".And Justice For All".
