BLACKENED
When two industry titans like Metallica and Master Distiller Dave Pickerell come together to create a new sonically-infused American whiskey, you take notice. Using Metallica’s music to shape the liquid’s profile, Blackened breathes new life into the band’s legacy and tells a shared story of craftsmanship and mastery.
