Music legends and their bottles: The truth behind celebrity whiskeys worth drinking

Send us a text


Metallica's Blackened Whiskey and other celebrity spirits are
more than marketing gimmicks, offering quality products with
innovative aging techniques. Music-inspired whiskeys like
Blackened use sonic enhancement processes where sound waves cause
barrels to vibrate, extracting unique flavors from the
wood.

Are celebrity whiskeys worth your hard-earned cash, or are they
just overpriced marketing gimmicks? We dive deep into this
question by exploring Metallica's Blackened Whiskey and the Wes
Henderson White Port Cask Finish in our first-ever double
breakdown.

The verdict might surprise you. Blackened Whiskey employs a
fascinating "Black Noise" process where Metallica's own music
vibrates through aging barrels at specific frequencies, causing
the liquid to extract more flavor compounds from the wood. This
isn't just marketing hype—the science behind it actually makes
sense, and more importantly, you can taste the difference. With
notes of caramel apple dipped in chocolate, this approachable
90-proof American whiskey scored an impressive 11.5/18 on our
scale, proving that some musician-backed spirits deserve serious
consideration.

What makes a rock-and-roll whiskey successful? As we discuss in
this episode, it's about finding the right balance. Too
high-proof and concert-goers might not make it to the show; too
bland and whiskey enthusiasts won't give it a second pour.
Blackened hits that sweet spot—flavorful enough for sipping neat
but versatile enough to mix with cola while tailgating before an
AC/DC concert (which Tiny is excitedly preparing for).

Matt from Cleveland on the Rocks joins us to share his
perspective on celebrity spirits and collectible bottles. We
explore why some bottles remain sealed as shelf decorations while
others get opened immediately, regardless of their famous
affiliations. From Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door to Wes Henderson's
port-finished expressions, the world of celebrity whiskey offers
surprising quality when you know where to look.

Whether you're a whiskey aficionado or a music lover curious
about your favorite artist's side hustle, this episode offers
valuable insights into what makes these crossover products worthy
additions to your collection. Subscribe now and join us for our
next adventure—we'll be broadcasting live from Cleveland with
Matt as our guide!
