Sonically enhanced casks and black noise aging
The trash metal of Whiskey, Blackened is a collaboration brand between two legends, the beloved Metallica and Master Distiller and Blender Dave Pickerell whose name stands behind some of the best distilleries in the world. Sadly, Dave passed away shortly after launching Blackened in 2018, but his legacy stands protected by a Master Distiller Rob Dietrich who is both the guardian of Dave’s original recipe and the visionary driving the brand forward in the future.
Do you know how flowers grow better when they listen to pleasant sounds? Well, it looks like it’s the same thing with Whiskies. Blackened 72 Seasons Whiskey was finished in “sonically enhanced” casks, meaning the Whiskey was exposed to Metallica’s 72 Seasons album during aging, vibrating slowly to the low-hertz vibes and soaking up all of that wood flavor in the process. This method, originally envisioned by Dave Pickerell, has been named the “black noise aging process”. 72 Seasons Whiskey is a blend of fine Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskies that was married and finished in ex-Brandy casks, giving this powerful 45% ABV Spirit a sweet note.

Rye Whiskey is made from mash that is at least 51 percent rye. The grain gives Rye Whiskey its spicy, sometimes peppery, and bitter flavor. It was a big seller before Prohibition, and after decades in obscurity, it’s fashionable again. Fun fact: George Washington distilled Rye Whiskey at Mount Vernon.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
is the fermentation process by which a percentage of a previous fermentation is added to a new batch as a "starter" to get the fermentation going and maintain a level of consistency from batch to batch. A sweet mash means that only fresh yeast is added to a new batch to start fermentation.
Corn Whiskey is a commercial product that must contain at least 80% corn, be distilled at less than 80% ABV (160 proof), and, if wood-aged, may be aged in either used or new un-charred barrels.
An un-aged American Whisky is often called “white dog.”Sour Mash is the fermentation process by which a percentage of a previous fermentation is added to a new batch as a "starter" to get the fermentation going and maintain a level of consistency from batch to batch. A sweet mash means that only fresh yeast is added to a new batch to start fermentation.
Moonshine Whiskey is distilled from a varied mix of corn and sugar and is aged in Mason jars and jugs for the length of time it takes the customers to get home.
