In collaboration with the sound engineering experts at Meyer Sound, the whiskey brand developed a revolutionary technique known as BLACK NOISE™. This process involves stimulating the whiskey with powerful low-frequency sound waves, causing the liquid to vibrate and interact with the barrel, intensifying its flavors in a dynamic dance. The result? A whiskey that resonates with the intensity of a Metallica solo.

Yet, it's not all rock 'n' roll magic; there's rigorous science backing it. They didn't just turn up the music and hope for the best. The brand harnessed specific sound frequencies through meticulous experimentation to unlock a symphony of flavors within the whiskey, revealing hidden notes of toasted coconut, vanilla, and caramel.

Meyer Sound, long-time collaborators with Metallica, brought their unparalleled sound expertise to the table. Together, they’ve refined the whiskey-making process, fusing science, sound, and spirit to craft a truly innovative masterpiece.

The art of whiskey blending is akin to conducting an orchestra, and at BLACKENED, they consider themselves conductors of flavor, carefully selecting premium bourbons and ryes. To finish the whiskey off, cask finishing plays the lead, adding notes of dark fruit from the brandy casks, and sweet undertones of honey and caramel.

Selecting a cigar that complements the intensity and flavor of BLACKENED Whiskey is key to a harmonious pairing. Look for cigars with a balance of earthy and spicy notes, which can enhance the whiskey's inherent richness without overwhelming its subtle nuances. The BLACKENED Cigars "M81" by Drew Estate, for instance, are designed to match the whiskey's depth, offering a smoky, leathery base that aligns perfectly with the vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit notes of the whiskey. 

Whiskey and food pairings can be delightfully surprising, highlighting contrasting or complementary flavors. For starters, consider rich, fatty foods like aged cheeses or smoked meats, which can soften the whiskey’s bite and bring forward its sweet and savory notes. A charcuterie board featuring sharp cheddar, blue cheese, and prosciutto can make for an engaging prelude to a meal.

For main courses, the char on a perfectly grilled steak or the deep, smoky flavors of barbecued ribs can echo the whiskey's woody undertones and amplify its complexity. Vegetarian options, like grilled portobello mushrooms or smoked gouda cheese dishes, also serve as excellent counterparts, offering a robust flavor profile that stands up well to the whiskey.

The natural sweetness of BLACKENED Whiskey makes it a fantastic partner for desserts. Look for treats with caramel, chocolate, or fruity elements to match the whiskey's profile. A dark chocolate torte or a caramel cheesecake can accentuate the caramel and vanilla notes of the whiskey. For a fruitier accompaniment, a berry crumble or a peach cobbler served with vanilla ice cream can highlight the whiskey’s subtle fruit notes and create a delightful finish to any meal.

This whiskey melds the dynamism of rock 'n' roll with topnotch whiskey craftsmanship, creating a unique sensory experience through the innovative BLACK NOISE™ technology. This method, developed alongside Meyer Sound and inspired by Metallica's legacy, intensifies the whiskey's flavors, revealing a complex profile of toasted coconut, vanilla, and caramel. Perfect for pairing, whether with the bespoke BLACKENED Cigars "M81" by Drew Estate, a variety of foods from rich cheeses to grilled steaks, or indulgent desserts like caramel cheesecake, BLACKENED Whiskey deserves a spot in your collection.
