It starts with a base of low rye and high rye whiskey recipes that were hand-picked by BLACKENED Master Distiller \u0026amp; Blender, Rob Dietrich and Willett Distillery’s Master Distiller, Drew Kulsveen, from the Willett Family Estate Reserve Selection. The straight rye whiskey is finished in Madeira casks, adding a layer of nuanced complexity. To extract even more flavor, the whiskey was applied with the proprietary BLACK NOISE™ sonic-enhancement process during the finishing phase. This expression features whiskey that is an average age of 6 and a ½ years, and is bottled at cask strength, and non-chill filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 750ML BOTTLE OF BLACKENED® AMERICAN WHISKEY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) BLACKENED™ X WILLET CASK STRENGTH RYE WHISKEY\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL ORDERS PLACED ARE GUARANTEED\u003c\/strong\u003e and WILL NOT be cancelled like with other retailers.

The two tasted and experimented with a number of whiskeys before landing on the recipes that would create the perfect flavor profile. Aged for an average of 6.5 years in white American oak casks, the complexity of the whiskey balances perfectly. After the rye whiskeys are married together, they are finished in Madeira casks for up to 14 weeks and then bottled at cask strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBlackened x Willett Cask Strength Rye Whiskey | Limited Release Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e S\u003cspan\u003eweet rhubarb, brown sugar, corn husk, cigar box, and vanilla.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e D\u003cspan\u003eark fruit notes, overtones of honey, and slightly sweeter flavors of caramel and cinnamon that pair perfectly with the spicier notes of the rye\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold \u0026amp; Lingering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDistillery Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Amber Distilling Company\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopyright ©2019 Sweet Amber Ventures, Inc.

Sadly, Dave passed away in late 2018, shortly after the launch of BLACKENED. In 2019, Master Distiller Rob Dietrich joined the team as Master Distiller \u0026amp; Blender, and guardian of Dave’s legacy blend. As unapologetic masters of craft in their respective fields, they’ve built world-renowned legacies by carving out new spaces and bringing their singular, incendiary perspectives to everything they touch. Unlikely collaborators on the surface, their shared creative fire and dedication to craft make them anything but. Together, they’ve created BLACKENED – an unconventional whiskey of uncompromising quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ConciergeUK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42882736357514,"sku":"","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/PhotoJan232025_60824PM.png?v=1737673774"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/collections\/BLACKENED_WILLET_-_mobile.jpg?v=1755780303","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/collections\/symphony-of-whiskey-blackened-x-willett.oembed","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
