Notes: Blackened Whiskey is known for its unique aging process, where the whiskey is finished in black brandy casks while being subjected to low-frequency sound waves from Metallica's music, which they call the "Black Noise" process. This innovative technique is believed to enhance the interaction between the whiskey and the cask, creating a richer, more complex flavor profile.
