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.

Sweet or Spicy🔥? We couldn’t decide, so we chose both.

Woodford Reserve has been the sponsor of the Kentucky Derby since 1999, and we are thrilled to announce it as our Whiskey of the Week!

This 90.4 proof bourbon has notes of dried fruit, flavors of toffee, and an unforgettable smooth creamy finish. Don’t believe us?
