Blackened (Metallica) - Straight Whiskey Finished in Black Brandy Cask

PRODUCER DESCRIPTION: This award-winning whiskey is a marriage of North American straight bourbon & rye whiskeys and uniquely finished and sonically-enhanced in brandy casks, using the BLACK NOISE™ process to extract more flavor from the wood. The sweetness of the bourbon is perfectly balanced with the savory spice offered by the rye. The whiskey is further enhanced with the brandy cask finish adding notes of apricot, which plays perfectly alongside the honey and caramel notes of the blend.
