Blackened X Wes Henderson Master's Collection
116.2 Proof
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Port Finished
Blackened/Metallica collaboration with Wes Henderson
Nose
The nose is very light and soft, with almost no burn despite the high proof - there's not much there at all.
Palate
When you drink it, there's pepper and spice with a lot of bite to it, though the front end lacks punch compared to the backend.
Finish
The finish has a spicy backend with significant pepper and spice.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A port-finished bourbon with an unbalanced profile - soft nose but spicy finish - that Jim found a bit disjointed despite some appealing flavors.
