Blackened American Whiskey By Metallica 750mL is a bold, sonically enhanced whiskey born from the collaboration between Metallica and the late master distiller Dave Pickerell. Crafted from a blend of North American bourbons and ryes, this innovative whiskey undergoes a unique finishing process in black brandy casks, where it’s subjected to the band’s proprietary BLACK NOISE™ sonic enhancement—a method that uses low-frequency sound waves from Metallica’s music to intensify interaction between whiskey and wood.

Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), Blackened American Whiskey delivers a rich, powerful profile with notes of caramel, honey, spice, and oak. Smooth yet bold, it’s a whiskey as uncompromising as the band that inspired it—crafted to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or alongside your favorite Metallica track.
