Blackened X Wes Henderson Masters in Collaboration Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
116.2 proof NAS Bourbon Blackened Louisville, KY $100
Nose

Remarkably soft and light for the proof level with minimal alcohol burn. Faint notes of raisins and pears present but subtle overall.

Palate

Port-finished character with raisins and pears, followed by pronounced pepper and spice that builds in intensity.

Finish

Long, fiery finish with significant pepper and spice. The heat and intensity sharply contrast with the soft nose, creating a somewhat disjointed overall profile.

Respectable
A port-finished collaboration between Metallica and master distiller Wes Henderson that delivers impressive heat on the finish despite a deceptively gentle approach on the nose.
