Perhaps the ultimate whiskey and metal combination?! A unique collaborative creation between Metallica and the late, great, Dave Pickerell. Blackend whiskey is a combination of straight whiskies of varying ages, sourced from around North America (Whistlepig is rumoured to have been one) that have been vatted together and finished for up to 10 weeks in Black Brandy casks. If that wasn't interesting enough, during that finishing period the casked whiskey has subwoofers attached and the vibrations from the music played (playlists picked by and featuring Metallica) influence the maturation style of the whiskey, dubbed Black Noise! Each individual batch has a different playlist associated with its maturation, this, Batch 106 was chosen by master distiller/blender Rob Dietrich and featured the following songs 01. The Call Of Ktulu 02. For Whom The Bell Tolls 03. The Day That Never Comes 04. The Memory Remains 05. Confusion 06. Moth Into Flame 07. The Outlaw Torn 08. No Leaf Clover 09. Halo On Fire 10. The Unforgiven III 11. All Within My Hands 12. (Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth 13. Wherever I May Roam 14. One 15. Master Of Puppets 16. Nothing Else Matters 17. Enter Sandman A sweet nose with caramel, honey, oak and a hint of spice. On the palate cloves, allspice, mint, honey, cinnamonb and a fruity hint of apricot dominate. The long and gentle finish is very creamy with hints of maple, toffee and again honey. A surprisingly pleasurable whiskey from beginning to end.
