A truly unconventional whiskey of uncompromising quality. Created by the earth-shattering music of Metallica using their proprietary sonic-enhancement system BLACK NOISE

Darkened is a marriage of the best whiskeys, ryes and bourbons, hand chosen by Dave himself. Each of the whiskeys offer exceptional flavor that  play a key role in the final spirit. Predominately bourbon, the sweetness of BLACKENED combines flawlessly with the appetizing flavor offered by the high rye composition.

Dave is renown for his whiskey finishes—an aspect he calls “flavoring for adults”. By resting the whiskey in the barrel of another spirit during the maturation phase, the whiskey picks up some of the unique, residual flavors left behind in the barrel. For BLACKENED, Dave chose to finish the whiskey in black brandy casks. The result is an added apricot note that plays perfectly alongside the honey and caramel tones of the pre-finished spirit.
After the whiskeys have been combined in the black brandy casks for finishing, they’re jolted back to life by the unmistakable, earth-shattering  music of Metallica. Using our proprietary sonic-enhancement system BLACK NOISE™, the whiskey is pummeled by sound, causing it to seep deeper into the barrel, where it picks up additional wood flavor characteristics.

The process the whiskey undergoes is intense; the flavor is anything but. The spirit has a warm, honey-amber color. Burnt caramel, oak and honey are present on the nose, with moderate hints of spice upon first taste. The flavor builds with notes of honey, cinnamon, allspice, clove and mint,  with unexpected apricot lingering underneath. Expect a long and smooth finish with slightly creamy hints of butterscotch taffy, maple and honey.

Tall in stature, with a long neck and a distinctive, angular shoulder, our bespoke bottle was crafted with the barman in mind. Easy to find on a  crowded bar and easy to pour.
