Blackened Whiskey

Batch #094, which had some of Metallica's lesser-known heavier jams, so maybe that factored into the taste a bit haha. Sweet corn with a little bit of dark sweet cherries and plums, and a rye bite that comes in a little bit later. Some whiskies just seem to taste better over ice than neat, and this was one of them for me. Honestly this really isn't a bad bottle of whiskey, I just wish it were $10-15 cheaper. It's only really worth the buy if you're a big Metallica fan and want it for the novelty, or buying it as a gift.

Slightly sweet with a good Oak finish

Good but a tad uneventful. The noise/metallica thing is a bit of a gimmick.

If you're a Metalica fan, and you want "to believe" then knock yourself out, no really, just grab a short handled sledge and aim for the temple, best bet. This "undisclosed" whiskey was most likely aimed for cherry, apple, peach or honey flavor before hitting the bottom shelf of the store. The brandy cask finish does dress it up a little bit from the standpoint of the nose, a little black cherry and plum hint you MIGHT be getting into something good. But then the taste betrays that this is sickly sweetened and really nothing about it seems balanced or refined. Yes LOUD grungey Metallica not good smooth mellow bourbon. If you want a black eye for Christmas, get this instead of Bookers. Trying to find something redeeming it has a bit of acrid starchyness along with the way too sweet brandy which seems more like a corn syrup in your mouth. I can come up with at least one good thing to say about it. IT'S NOT FIREBALL. Ok, if you're gonna listen to Metallica and you want to get blasted, you probably won't really notice what you're drinking and that's another good thing I can say about it. However this list is thin, why not just do yourself a favor and buy some Wild Turkey American Honey, you at least get some Wild Turkey with your way too sweet booze. Maybe try the Mahavishnu Orchestra next time, or just some Sympathy for the Devil, because you're gonna want some sympathy after you realize what you've done by getting this.
