Why Gifted Pour recommends it
For the friend who plays records loud and pours whiskey with intention, this is a gift with a story built in. Blackened grew out of a collaboration between Metallica and master distiller and blender Rob Dietrich, and this cask strength edition is an unfiltered, barrel-proof blend of straight bourbons and ryes, enhanced by the patented BLACK NOISE sonic-aging process, in which low-frequency Metallica tracks intensify the interaction between whiskey and barrel. Expect dark fruit, burnt caramel, vanilla and toasted oak on the nose, then a full-bodied palate of cherry, molasses, cinnamon and baking spice, closing long with leather, tobacco and black pepper. It suits a birthday for a lifelong fan, a milestone celebration, or a thank-you for someone who appreciates bold flavor. Because it is bottled at full proof, the recipient can sip it neat, add a splash of water to open its depth, or build a richer Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
