Cheers to and a new here at The Smoke Shop BBQ!

Introducing BLACKENED, an award-winning, super-premium whiskey collaboration from late Master Distiller, Dave Pickerell, and . Pickerell collaborated with the legendary 80/90's band to create this unique blend of the finest bourbons and ryes, aged in black brandy barrels. While this whiskey ages, it relaxes to the tunes of Metallica's “Justice for All” album. The low frequency sounds force the whiskey into the wood, grabbing onto the apricot fruit flavors from the brandy-soaked cask.

We have a feeling you’re going to love this one. Come try for just $10/pour until next 🥃

With notes of crème brûlée, and a sweet, caramelized sugar taste, we recommend you stop by and try for just $10/pour until next 🥃
