Like the estate of Sid Vicious selling legalized heroin. Given that alcohol has been a problem for Hetfield, having him involved in the hawking of booze through Metallica seems weird. That latter stint caused Metallica to cancel a planned tour, after which the COVID-19 pandemic took care of the next year, and the year after that. Not to play anti-alcohol advocate, but Metallica singer and guitarist James Hetfield has waged two very public battles with the bottle, checking himself into rehab in both the early 2000s, and again in 2019. Or cranked the Geto Boys’ “Fuck ’Em All” to 11 for a couple of hours. What’s the problem here, besides the fact that if someone really wanted to increase the exposure of whisky to wood they could have just kicked, rolled, or punched the barrels.
(For those keeping track, and obviously to mess with the minds of those in the audience, the album’s tracks were played in reverse order from last to first). The contention is that low frequencies caused vibrations which increased the amount of exposure the liquid had to the wood.īlackened Whiskey master distiller and blender Rob Dietrich blasted the barrels with a 2012 recording of the record, which marked the only time Metallica has ever played Ride the Lightning in its entirety for a live audience. In the case of Rye the Lightning, the big selling point is that whiskey matured in Madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks was exposed to a live recording of the band’s 1984 metal landmark Ride the Lightning. Feelgood stethoscopes, or GG Allin extra-strength laxatives, every artist needs a hook for their wares. Whether you’re talking KISS caskets, Mötley Crüe Dr. The band-approved Rye the Lightning features notes of “dried fig, hay, pinewood, pear, and rum cake” when you’re inhaling, and “clover honey, mint, corn husk, sugar cane, walnut, and cinnamon” when it’s time to get to the drinking. The world’s most successful metal act has just announced the latest offering in its Blackened Whiskey line.
#BLACKENED WHISKEY GLASSES FULL#
It is particularly fantastic for those who want to experience the rich flavors of a bourbon or rye without the higher cost of a single-barrel whiskey.Depending on how one looks at the whisky glass-sadly half empty, or gloriously half full (which leaves plenty of room for a top up)-it’s either great for Metallica’s accountants, or it’s hypocritically and wrongly sending the wrong message.
For whiskey aficionados, this is a great way to experience a unique and exclusive kind of whiskey. It goes well with most types of whiskey cocktails and no matter how you enjoy it, it will bring a unique complexity and flavor to each sip. This type of whiskey is great for sipping and will often leave a slight smokiness on the palate. It has a slightly sweet taste with hints of vanilla, caramel, and spice. Blackened whiskey can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and is popular in cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. It has a unique smoky flavor with a soft finish, and is perfect for use in any sipping whiskey drink.
The charring of the whiskey breaks down the wood, releasing the sugars and opening up the spirit to more complexities and flavor. This technique was developed by bourbon icon, Dave Pickerell. Blackened whiskey is a spirit made from blending multiple barrels of whiskey that have been charred over an open flame.
