Whiskey: METALLICA | BLACKENED™ X WILLET + FLAGSHIP BUNDLE
The BLACKENED x Willett Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey was the inaugural release in this series. It starts with a base of low rye and high rye whiskey recipes that were hand-picked by BLACKENED Master Distiller & Blender, Rob Dietrich and Willett Distillery’s Master Distiller, Drew Kulsveen, from the Willett Family Estate Reserve Selection. The straight rye whiskey is finished in Madeira casks, adding a layer of nuanced complexity. To extract even more flavor, the whiskey was applied with the proprietary BLACK NOISE™ sonic-enhancement process during the finishing phase. This expression features whiskey that is an average age of 6 and a ½ years, and is bottled at cask strength, and non-chill filtered.

Blackened x Willett Cask Strength Rye Whiskey | Limited Release
The BLACKENED x Willett Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Madeira Casks starts with a base of low rye and high rye whiskey recipes that were hand-picked by Rob Dietrich and Willett Distillery's Master Distiller, Drew Kulsveen, from the Willett Family Estate Reserve Selection. The two tasted and experimented with a number of whiskeys before landing on the recipes that would create the perfect flavor profile. Aged for an average of 6.5 years in white American oak casks, the complexity of the whiskey balances perfectly. After the rye whiskeys are married together, they are finished in Madeira casks for up to 14 weeks and then bottled at cask strength.

Nose: Sweet rhubarb, brown sugar, corn husk, cigar box, and vanilla.
