This bottling under the name Blackened is a blend of bourbon and rye whiskeys created by the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell in collaboration with the band Metallica. The whiskey matures in black brandy barrels and is accompanied by Metallica music.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
