The Conor McGreggor Proper 12 review brought me to this channel and I'm happy that it did. These reviews are very well done and fair. Now if I could only get the $24.99 back for buying that whiskey to get Blackened.
Saw the Proper 12 review and loved how you thought to explain to those, like me, who are new to these type of reviews. I never knew whiskey reviewing could be so intriguing. Subscribed.
Thanks Tyrone. Australia is a whiskey ecosystem I haven't explored yet. I've had a few recommendations, but you probably know more about them than I do!
Haha well the truth is I’m only 18 and have yet to really try many whiskeys and bourbons but maybe I’ll find a good one to enjoy because at the moment it’s all too strong :,(
You should pickup some Waterview there in AUS. Maybe you can still find a bottle of the stuff that had music blasted at it too (classic 80s rock bands.). Yes, the Aussies did it first!
November 3, 2018: I was able to taste the Metallica Blackened Whiskey last night at the WhiskyFest in San Francisco and pick up some printed info from the rep. I thought it was a decent whiskey but nothing to rave about.
So true. The first time I watched one of your videos, I didn't really know what to think. You could have easily gotten boring. But now I watch quite a few of your videos. It's hard to make solo videos. Talking to a camera alone is tough stuff, but you do it well. You've gotten a lot better at it too. ;)
Speaking completely bluntly I've been feeling really comfortable lately. I'm sure it's coming across in the videos too. The spike to subscribers lately has really motivated me at a time when I needed a bit more motivation
I'm also a huge Metallica fan, still playing a lot of Metallica when I get a chance. Hopefully I can taste their whiskey someday, unfortunately it is still not available in South Africa.
Keep at it Whiskey Dic, I feel like whiskey is in the process of blowing up again. Hope your channel stays out there and gets them subs! Also would you recommend Jameson Caskmates Stout for someone starting their journey into whisk(e)y?
Hmm, don't know if 'gulpable' is a positive descriptor of a whiskey in my book, lol. And the whole blasting the barrels with Metallica is super gimmicky too. I'd rather have a more complex, non-gulpable whiskey, while I listened to some really good music, but that's just me. You did a really thorough and comprehensive job on your part of this review though. I really feel like I would know exactly what I was getting, and I appreciate the heck out of that!
Can you review Longbranch. It'll add to the celebrity created whiskey videos and I'm interested in your opinion of it. It's the first bourbon I bought along with my first scotch which was glenlivet 12 first fill. Still haven't acquired the taste of whisky yet tho
I am normally a Kettle over ice with lime drinker. I have recently decided to develop a taste for whiskey and bourbon. I have watched several videos and subscribed to yours. I am 3/4 through a bottle of Maker's 46. I am starting to pick up scents. Still struggling on flavors. What would you suggest that I try next?
Awesome reviews. Proper 12 brought me to your channel lol. Recommend me your top whiskeys in the $30-50 range and one that I should ball out for. Please hehe.
Excellent stuff! As a Metallica fan, I'm also glad this whiskey is worth the purchase! However, I cannot find it for the price you mentioned, on their site it says $70 a bottle. Would you still recomend it at that price?
I love these videos. And I hate whiskey lol. Watching you talk about all these flavors in these whiskeys made me want to give it another try. Went out to the local liquor store looking for four Rose's and couldn't find it. Then I saw makers mark but it was like 45 dollars which was a bit steep. Ended up on this E&J Apple flavored brandy cuz it was cheap. It wasn't the worst stuff in the world but I've had better. Anyway just wanted to leave this comment to let ya know what you're doing is awesome and u got the personality to draw someone who doesn't even like whiskey into your videos. Good shit man.
Try Wild Turkey 101 , great bourbon at a lower price point. But yea in whiskey you get what you pay for. A lot of it is time in barrel or use of finishing casks that drive price and quality up.
Great review again Bill! I like your title animations. Have you thought about including an animated logo to the beginning of your videos as a title screen? I think that would look great!
Yup! I considered it but my analytics show me that people want to dive right into the content. I dont blame them, we are all busy :) I used to have intros but found that folks dropped off during them
I can't even drink yet, but this was a great review of whiskey from my favorite band. I got a sense of the overall themes of the whiskey even without having ever had a glass of any kind. Also, Blackened is my favorite Metallica song, so that helps. Great job!
I could not wait to watch this review! I had to see if this whiskey was "The Thing That Should Not Be", but now I have to run out and buy it because "Nothing Else Matters" 🎸🎵😁 Cheers! 🥃
I can see that! Buy "The Ecstasy of Gold", this "Whisky in the Jar" "All Within My Hands" made by "The Four Horseman" you all know. This "Sweet Amber" is a great "Fixxxer" for any "Damage Case". "The Wait" was worth it, I have "No Remorse". "The More I See" now, "It's Electric" and in the finish "The Memory Remains" of this whiskey, but that in "The Eye of the Beholder". Act fast and be "The Hero of the Day" because it is released in small batches, "Sad But True". I will take it "Wherever I may Roam" because "Nothing Else Matters". 😂
Hi Bill, thanks a lot !. You said something like "MGP it is not (thankfully)".Now I've had lots of products sourced by Midwest grain products and they seem perfectly good, specialy Rye. So, what's wrong with MGP?
Mostly the bad wrap that they get. When I was editing the video I found myself wishing I had phrased that differently. When I review whiskies that are MGP sourced, they tend to get a lot of flack in the comments as well. (It's part of the reason I did my video on MGP a couple months ago).
Do you have videos about the basic stuff? Like what makes bourbon and scotch different and how aged should a whiskey typically be before it's considered aged enough.
I do have some videos like that but probably not enough. I have two videos on what bourbon and scotch are and general info half written but maybe I'll make them more of a priority. Thanks for the idea!
My manager bought me a bottle of blackened batch 83 He said I shouldnt open it because it gonna be worth alot of money soon I disagree, I just want to drink it, I dont collect bottles Should I keep it sealed or drink it?
I'm going to like the game of thrones reviews too!I saw the video you went over all of them,man they must have put some thought and money into all these flavors I'm really looking forward to the nights watch one,I got a good feeling about it. Are there any your looking forward too more?
Thanks bro. I love the name of the channel I told my grandma about your name,and she never knew about the saying whiskey dick,so I had to explain to her why I thought your channel name was clever when you abreviate it. LOL
Metallica,..... Never heard of this band before. Do they sing the catchy song Mmm Bop? Could you please do a review on Old Grandad. I started getting bored with the lower Rye and wheaten bourbons and wanted to try high rye wiskeys and old grandad, being the young Basile Haden wasy budget choice. It's really nice and will be trying the bonded soon. Thanks.... Keep it up and stay warm, I hear the colder New England weather is setting in. Makes me miss MA this time of year
There is a Cognac which is sailed around the world for a year, the idea being the sloshing spirit takes on more if the wood and also picks up a touch of the "sea air". There is now a champagne that spends a year in the Gaelic Sea after bottling.
I like the consistencies of your videos, BUT I have just one pick to bone with this one. If you watch "My Bourbon Journey's" Video on this product, Dave Pickerell states repeatedly that the vibration of the music is not intended or result in accelerated aging, but to enhanse the flavor. He states that it draws deep caramel flavors from under the char layer of the barrel staves. I am only pointing this out because Dave Pickerell makes such a point of this.
@Ridogg81 its not bad, but its not great. Tastes really good with coke. for the price (i paid $25) I would buy it again. I actually prefer this with coke over jack. I think they're next run will be the one to look out for, it tastes really young
So glad it's better than McGregor's shit - saw your review on that too. Huge Metallica fan myself, will definitely purchase a bottle, seems to have the things I like in a whiskey, given your description.
ADF Audio it wasn’t a nod to cliff. It was a dumbass decision made by lars. This is actually what happened. Lars told the producer “Try turning the bass down to where you can barely audibly hear it”. After the album was finished and the band listened to it, Lars asked: “Is there any bass on the album?” I’m not fucking kidding. Not a tribute
That was a unique uncorking, sounded like the frigging AFLAC duck. I just ordered two bottles. Can't wait for the FedEx dude to roll up in 3-5 business days!
blackenedwhiskey.com/batch-playlists/ batch 082 (which is the "batch" you got) Selected and arranged by: JAMES HETFIELD 1. THE ECSTASY OF GOLD (METALLICA VERSION) 2. OF WOLF AND MAN 3. SEEK & DESTROY 4. FADE TO BLACK 5. HARDWIRED 6. ORION 7. FUEL 8. THE UNFORGIVEN II
To me this tasted like a blend of Wild Turkey 101 and some MGP rye. Not bad, we're probably paying an extra 10 bucks for the gimmick, if they were blending Maker's and Whistlepig it would be more expensive unless they bought some young barrels or off-barrels. Oh and I read on Punch that Whistlepig gets their starter from MGP... most rye is coming from there, not a bad thing they make a good product for the price
Hi Bill , what is happening with the subwoofer is a transmission of very low frequencies ( think Bag End sub`s ) < 10 Hertz. Any frequency < 10 Hz causes massive molecular disturbance . What you are getting into is called Psychoacoustics , that is the science of sound and the affects of sound at the molecular level : Wiki Link : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics So the next time you are rattling your home theater , if you have a deep frequency sub < 18 Hz , your home is changing , but you might never know it !! Also , for personal reference , do not sit in front of a subwoofer that is capable of < 6 Hz , paristalsis will take place !! Link > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristalsis Take care , thanks for the video , I just love science !! Later , Gary
That's awesome info Gary! Thanks for clarifying! I read a little about the molecular disturbance but didnt know enough about it to talk about it with authority.

Alright, the most important question... Favorite Metallica Song. Go!
Fade to Black
I'm going to go Battery. That song will get me freakin' pumped no matter what's going on. I usually skip the first 30 seconds or so though.
Eye of the Beholder. Hon. mention to Whisky in the Jar for purposes of this thread (although I like Thin Lizzy version better)
No leaf clover - S&M album
Ooo good one!
"We blasted it with bass to aid in the finishing process!"
>name whiskey after opening track of the album notorious for having the bass squashed in the mix
:p
Sad but true...
No Justice for Jason. LOL
its called Blackened becouse they even have Blackened records also its got best Intro for metal song
They missed the chance to put the whiskey in a Jar-O!
I figure that was too expected. Metallic - "In the Jar-o"
That's not their original song
Atheist Z No shit.
@@OblivionZXZ But they're cover is pretty popular
Fuck yeah
Please warn me if any batches used St. Anger so I can avoid them.
Hah! I almost made a similar comment :)
Bwahahaha
Paul Sousa those will probably be the best blended because of the snare
With the drop c tuning and how heavy it was, probably wouldn’t be bad. Maybe even the wonky snare would help lol
The snare!
Hmm, interesting. Brings into light their old nickname, "Alcohollica"!
The Conor McGreggor Proper 12 review brought me to this channel and I'm happy that it did. These reviews are very well done and fair. Now if I could only get the $24.99 back for buying that whiskey to get Blackened.
Hah!
That's why I always try to watch a review before spending my money. Even if my opinion differs, at least I have a starting point that way.
That's what you get for buying a whiskey for the brand name.
Blackened. My favorite song by them. Not even a whiskey drinker but I’ll try just because of the name.
great tune and sadly off the last quality album they released.
TheHypernaught Hardwired is good though.
I enjoyed it
Remastered will be out November 2nd so I can't wait to listen to that.
I don't listen to Metallica, but this video was EXTREMELY interesting. Thank you for the deep analysis and the details.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I am so glad this is a good whiskey. Now I can go out and buy one. As we both agreed proper twelve sucked hard.
You'll enjoy this one for sure :)
Saw the Proper 12 review and loved how you thought to explain to those, like me, who are new to these type of reviews. I never knew whiskey reviewing could be so intriguing. Subscribed.
Thanks Jordan!
This is a hillarious idea - too bad we don’t have a non-sound-blasted bottle for comparisson. Informative stuff, thanks:)
And yaj! Danish drummer🥁
Dude your videos are so relaxing! Binge watching your channel from Australia, any good Aussie drinks you can recommend ?
Thanks Tyrone. Australia is a whiskey ecosystem I haven't explored yet. I've had a few recommendations, but you probably know more about them than I do!
Haha well the truth is I’m only 18 and have yet to really try many whiskeys and bourbons but maybe I’ll find a good one to enjoy because at the moment it’s all too strong :,(
Don't hurry into it. You've got your whole life to enjoy alcohol, focus on stuff that matters before you cloud your brain :)
You should pickup some Waterview there in AUS. Maybe you can still find a bottle of the stuff that had music blasted at it too (classic 80s rock bands.). Yes, the Aussies did it first!
Man you seem like a really good guy! Calm, knowledgeable, and focused. I like you and your channel man! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks Cap'n

You must be the most well presented whiskey enthusiast i've ever seen! Keep going my friend. Cheers! /E
That's a great compliment. Thank you :)

Bass helps Whiskey to become Whiskey, If Cliff was alive, this would be one of the most frequently produced whiskeys =P
I'm also a huge Metallica fan, still playing a lot of Metallica when I get a chance. Hopefully I can taste their whiskey someday, unfortunately it is still not available in South Africa.
Keep at it Whiskey Dic, I feel like whiskey is in the process of blowing up again. Hope your channel stays out there and gets them subs! Also would you recommend Jameson Caskmates Stout for someone starting their journey into whisk(e)y?
I've never tried it but I've been eager to. If you like stout, I bet it would be good
Fade to Black preformed on 89, that shit is amazing. Great reviews too man. I love the details you get into. Definitely got a sub from me

I can't wait to try it out and say "Hmm, yes, this whiskey was played Lars' playlist"
Finished with bass frequencies ironically unlike the And Justice for All album in which Newstead got shafted
When I first heard about this I just pictured James hetfield being all like "Whiiisssskaaaaaaaaaaaay-a!"
Amazing review, certainly looking forward to getting myself a bottle, if I can find one first.
When I first saw the title of this video. I was tempted to run around the house yelling IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! I've been waiting for this!
Hah! I've been so excited too! This was one of my favorite reviews and I spent like 4 hours editing the video
Can you review Longbranch. It'll add to the celebrity created whiskey videos and I'm interested in your opinion of it. It's the first bourbon I bought along with my first scotch which was glenlivet 12 first fill. Still haven't acquired the taste of whisky yet tho
Still can’t find this by me 😔. One I’m very excited to try.
Cheers to Dave Pickerell!! R.I.P. and thanks for all the great whiskeys!
Hope it comes to Europe soon so it can colour my world blackened
You seem a very good person my friend, it is refreshing to see someone do something that clearly gives them joy.
All the best.
Thanks Andreas!
My brain melted when you likened apricots with brandy.
Talk about nailing a flavour.
Thanks :)
I’m a non drinker since 6/6/97 but i do enjoy your videos, not in envy as i have no desire to drink. But you do great work and research
Good job! 883 days for me. I do enjoy his reviews also.
Thanks to both of you :) nice job on the sobriety!
Barta Bhaus great just keep grinding day by day,

Thanks, huge mma fan, not so much a Conor nut-hugger but big time into Metallica and this does sound nice, any idea when a uk release will be?
Not sure sadly
I feel so bad for the guy that gets the Saint Anger blasted one, poor guy.
This is a high quality joke
St.Anger is a good song tho
I never disliked the song either. The album wasnt fantastic as a Metallica album
I actually love the songs on that album. But the snare? Not so much
Awesome reviews. Proper 12 brought me to your channel lol.
Recommend me your top whiskeys in the $30-50 range and one that I should ball out for. Please hehe.
I'll likely put out a video like this soon. Go buy yourself four Rose's small batch and thank me later :)
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Awesome. I look forward to it.
Excellent stuff! As a Metallica fan, I'm also glad this whiskey is worth the purchase! However, I cannot find it for the price you mentioned, on their site it says $70 a bottle. Would you still recomend it at that price?
Not at $70 a bottle. That's strange, I wonder if they are planning on updating it.
Not really even a whiskey guy but you're making me want to try more

Found this channel earlier today, subbed and you make great review videos. Thank you.

Hopefully this hits the LCBO in Canada soon. I wanna try this 🤘
LOL a playlist for each batch! Nice work buddy! Great research.

Hell yeaaah
Good enough.
That's quite the username
How is this channel not 20x bigger???
I ask myself that question a lot!
I've never seen this guy before but I absolutely love his enthusiasm towards whiskey
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Nice! I'm glad this is good! I was worried about it too. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere.

I would like to see a review on the 1792 small batch one day!!! Love the vids
I'll hit that one for sure
Thanks man
I love Metallica too....I am only now trying out various awesome things to drink:)
I can see you easily getting up to 500k subscribers after a year!
That would be incredible. I've been at this for three years so far but this last month has been fantastic
Great review, Bill! Looking forward to getting a bottle! Cheers bro
Cheers Richie!

I could listen to this guy for like forever. Love the videos too.
Thanks! I've been getting a lot of compliments like this and it's really nice to hear. Reassuring :)
I could not wait to watch this review! I had to see if this whiskey was "The Thing That Should Not Be", but now I have to run out and buy it because "Nothing Else Matters" 🎸🎵😁 Cheers! 🥃
I was super tempted to make the entire video comprised of metallic song titles but I just count make it work
I can see that!
Buy "The Ecstasy of Gold", this "Whisky in the Jar" "All Within My Hands" made by "The Four Horseman" you all know. This "Sweet Amber" is a great "Fixxxer" for any "Damage Case". "The Wait" was worth it, I have "No Remorse". "The More I See" now, "It's Electric" and in the finish "The Memory Remains" of this whiskey, but that in "The Eye of the Beholder". Act fast and be "The Hero of the Day" because it is released in small batches, "Sad But True". I will take it "Wherever I may Roam" because "Nothing Else Matters". 😂
Brilliant! Well done
Blackened Whiskey and Trooper Beer - now that's a good night out drinking.
Hi Bill, thanks a lot !. You said something like "MGP it is not (thankfully)".Now I've had lots of products sourced by Midwest grain products and they seem perfectly good, specialy Rye. So, what's wrong with MGP?
Mostly the bad wrap that they get. When I was editing the video I found myself wishing I had phrased that differently. When I review whiskies that are MGP sourced, they tend to get a lot of flack in the comments as well. (It's part of the reason I did my video on MGP a couple months ago).

You can look this up yourself. Go to his channel and scroll down and look at each title. Maybe open a few.
My manager bought me a bottle of blackened batch 83
He said I shouldnt open it because it gonna be worth alot of money soon
I disagree, I just want to drink it, I dont collect bottles
Should I keep it sealed or drink it?
Your call, but either way it wont be worth anything. If anything from this brand will be, it would have been batch 81
Thank for speedy reply
I am going to see Metalicca on Thurs, kinda wanna drink some that night
Dude I don't know if you'll see this but I like you and your videos I just found you after the conor mcgregor whiskey.

Cliff Burton batch?
Metallica was the band that got me into rock at the age of 10. Lovw your vids
Thanks Ben! Yea. I was born in 83, and was all about Metallica from a pretty early age... probably Earlier than my parents would have wanted me to be!
I was born in 97 and my dad was a huge metal head so i listened to rock all through out my life but never really got into it untill i was 10.
The perfect album to sonically age and enhance this whiskey would be Justice. With Newsteds bass mixed in of course

I'm new to this channel.. What's your favorite overall whiskey and then what's your favorite bargain whiskey(we'll say $20 and under)?
I honestly have no favorite. I drink so many different kinds I break it up by year. Last year it was four Rose's small batch
$20 and under... you're not going to find much in that range.
It was so obvious the damage controling you were trying to do on Connors whiskey before the fight lol
Now you tell it like it is hahaha
I was trying to be positive. :)
Grabbed a ECBP and walked right by it. Damn you Bill, now I have to run back for it.
Do it!

How do you know the batch of your particular bottle
There is a black label at the top. You wont miss it!
You should try Amrut Fusion Whiskey
To me this tasted like a blend of Wild Turkey 101 and some MGP rye. Not bad, we're probably paying an extra 10 bucks for the gimmick, if they were blending Maker's and Whistlepig it would be more expensive unless they bought some young barrels or off-barrels. Oh and I read on Punch that Whistlepig gets their starter from MGP... most rye is coming from there, not a bad thing they make a good product for the price
Aha just did a little more research, MGP rye is only iin some of the Whistlepig blends not all , my bad. Still , thats what I tasted in the Blackened
I agree though. I'd be shocked if MM and WP aren't in here
Ah mannnn! 2:15 you had your opportunity to play Blackened.....but you played Battery? 😉
Battery fit better
10k views! Great review, bud.
Thanks Nolan!
Hi Bill , what is happening with the subwoofer is a transmission of very low frequencies ( think Bag End sub`s ) < 10 Hertz.
Any frequency < 10 Hz causes massive molecular disturbance . What you are getting into is called Psychoacoustics , that is the science of sound and the affects of sound at the molecular level : Wiki Link :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics
So the next time you are rattling your home theater , if you have a deep frequency sub < 18 Hz , your home is changing , but you might never know it !!
Also , for personal reference , do not sit in front of a subwoofer that is capable of < 6 Hz , paristalsis will take place !! Link >

Take care , thanks for the video , I just love science !! Later , Gary
That's awesome info Gary! Thanks for clarifying! I read a little about the molecular disturbance but didnt know enough about it to talk about it with authority.
Hi Bill , I am happy to help :) Take care , and thank you for your awesome videos !! Gary
This one I want just BECAUSE!
They took other whiskeys and mixed them? That doesn't sound right. I recall an instagram photo showing the mash?
Its definitely a blend. Says so right on the bottle. It's possible that they revealed some of the contents
You have a good palette. I couldn't taste those notes and hints of flavor in that whiskey. Hell any whiskey
