Metallica preps Blackened Whiskey & vinyl box set

Credit: Herring & HerringMetallica is releasing a new batch of the band's Blackened American Whiskey in a unique, limited edition box set.

The package will include a bottle of the 90-proof drink, along with two vinyl picture discs made up of Metallica songs picked by distiller Rob Dietrich.

As Metallica explained when Blackened first launched in 2018, the whiskey is made using a process they call "Black Noise," during which the low-frequency sounds waves of band's songs would help "shape the flavor" of the beverage.

The songs featured on the box set's vinyl discs are the very same that played during the distilling process of this new batch.

“When I look at Rob's playlist, I love the selections, I love the variety," says drummer Lars Ulrich. "I love that he's gone for two deeper live tracks from the Damaged Justice tour, I love seeing both the Binge & Purge and Through the Never eras represented, and he even tapped the Helping Hands album, so it's clear he is not a part-timer!"

You can order your box set now via BlackenedWhiskey.com.
