Metallica’s New Whiskey Box Set Includes Vinyl of the Music It Aged To

Blackened uses a “proprietary sonic-enhancement process” called “Black Noise,” based around a custom-made subwoofer. And now, for the band’s Batch 100, they’ve kicked it up another notch, combining the idea of the booze and box set into a single package that pairs the whiskey with vinyl records of the music used in its aging process.

Released today, Blackened’s Batch 100 arrives exclusively in a limited-edition box set that not only contains a bottle of the blended American whiskey, but also two 12-inch vinyl picture discs of the custom Metallica playlist pumped through the Black Noise system during aging.

“When I look at Rob’s playlist, I love the selections. I love the variety and I love that he’s gone for two deeper live tracks from the Damaged Justice tour,” Ulrich added. “I love seeing both the Binge & Purge and Through the Never eras represented. And he even tapped the Helping Hands album, so it’s clear he is not a part-timer!”Of course, the box also comes with whiskey.

Cool.
