The second release in the BLACKENED Masters of Whiskey Series, BLACKENED x Wes Henderson Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Wine Port Wine Casks is the collaboration of Master Distillers Rob Dietrich of BLACKENED and Wes Henderson, Co-Founder of Angel’s Envy. Crafted from a 6-year old Kentucky straight bourbon and finished in white port wine casks, bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered.

Nose – pear, raisin, cinnamon, and cigar box.
Palate – pear, honey, chipotle cinnamon, vanilla, barn hay, and walnut.
Finish – beautiful, long viscous finish.

This expression was finished to its own unique playlist which is blasted to the barrels using BLACKENED’s proprietary BLACK NOISE sonic enhancement process. During finishing, the whiskey undergoes a sonic enhancement process in which the finishing barrels are pummeled by the low hertz frequencies of Metallica’s music. The sound waves cause vibrations that shake the finishing barrels, causing greater interaction between the whiskey and the wood, extracting more flavors and color. This expression is bottled at cask strength and is non-chill filtered.

The “Masters of Whiskey Series” was born from the core tenet of the BLACKENED American Whiskey and Metallica collaboration. This series combines the strengths of Master Distiller and Blender Rob Dietrich and renowned whiskey makers to re-imagine craft whiskey and create more complex expressions. Each of these limited edition whiskies are finished to their own unique playlist which is blasted to the barrels using BLACKENED’s proprietary BLACK NOISE sonic enhancement process.

The inspiration for the collaboration came from BLACKENED’s late Master Distiller and whiskey luminary Dave Pickerell, who was a close friend of Wes Henderson. Representing several generations of Kentucky distilling provenance, Henderson was inducted into the Kentucky bourbon hall of fame, joining his father, Lincoln Henderson, as one of the few father/son inductees in the history of the industry.

The 8-track playlist for the BLACK NOISE process was chosen by both Rob Dietrich and Wes Henderson. The full playlist includes:
1. For Whom The Bell Tolls
2. No Remorse
3. King Nothing
4. The Unforgiven
5. Hit The Lights
6. Orion
7. The Day That Never Comes
8. Blackened 2020
