Description

A brand of American whiskey devised in 2018 as a collaboration between the rock band, Metallica, and master distillers. Marketed by Sweet Amber Distilling Co., it is produced using whiskey sourced from a variety of distilleries in the US. This Cask Strength Volume 01 is a blend of carefully selected North American bourbon and rye whiskeys, finished in brandy-enhanced casks and bottled unfiltered. It utilizes a unique 'BLACK NOISE' sonic enhancement process where sound waves are used to intensify the flavor of the whiskey. This is the inaugural release in the Cask Strength series.
