Co-founded by the legendary band Metallica and the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell in 2018, Blackened Whiskey was created to merge music and spirits. Today, esteemed Master Distiller Rob Dietrich continues the legacy of using proprietary sonic-enhancement processes to curate unique, complex blends of American whiskey.
This spirits project utilizes Black Noise sonic enhancement, where the music of Metallica is blasted into the aging barrels to agitate the liquid and extract deeper wood flavors. The process is conducted at the Sweet Amber Distilling Co., combining classic methods with innovative acoustic technology.
