Turn up the volume with Blackened Cask Strength – a full-throttle American whiskey born from the collaboration between legendary rock band Metallica and master distiller/blender Rob Dietrich. This unfiltered, barrel-proof blend of straight bourbons and ryes is enhanced using the patented BLACK NOISE™ sonic-aging process, where low-frequency Metallica tracks intensify the interaction between whiskey and barrel. The result? A bold, unapologetic spirit with explosive flavor and depth.
Each batch of Blackened Cask Strength is bottled at full proof, delivering maximum character and a long, powerful finish. It's whiskey that hits as hard as the music that shaped it.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a full-proof blend of straight bourbons and ryes, bottled unfiltered at barrel strength, and it drinks with the weight that implies. Expect dark fruit, burnt caramel, vanilla and toasted oak on the nose. The palate is full-bodied, with cherry, molasses, cinnamon and baking spice, and it closes long on leather, tobacco and black pepper. It suits the drinker who already likes big, spice-driven American whiskey and wants it undiluted, though a splash of water opens it up for anyone newer to cask strength. What sets it apart on the shelf is the story behind it. It is a collaboration between Metallica and master distiller and blender Rob Dietrich, enhanced with the patented BLACK NOISE sonic-aging process, in which low-frequency Metallica tracks are used to intensify the interaction between whiskey and barrel. We carry it because the liquid backs up the concept, with real depth neat and serious backbone in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. It is a natural pick for fans of the band and for collectors of cask-strength American blends.
Pairs well with
- Smoked beef brisket — The whiskey's molasses and black pepper notes echo a dark, peppery bark and stand up to rich smoked meat.
- Dark chocolate and cherries — The cherry and burnt caramel on the palate and nose line up naturally with bittersweet chocolate and dark fruit.
- Vinyl listening night — A whiskey shaped by Metallica's music, with a long leather-and-tobacco finish, rewards slow sipping while the records spin.
