I have PHC 12, would've have picked the THH over it personally. Even with an open THH. The PHC 12 is quite good but THH is so much better.

Pro tip: MWND is very tasty. Secondary isn't ridiculous either if you can't find it local .... and most of us can't. Enjoying a nice pour of it tonight while watching Springsteen on Broadway on Netflix. Highly recommend this too if you enjoy good storytelling and how it blends into his songwriting and autobiographical insights into humanity. Almost a perfect night.

I'm sure some of you saw the HBS L'Encantada Armagnac announcement yesterday. Actual shelf bottles will be very limited, so don't wait to pre-order once that announcement comes out. They're gonna sell out fast.

BLACKENED is a collaborative effort between Metallica and Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. 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.
A marriage of the finest bourbons, ryes & whiskeys, hand selected by Dave himself. Each of the whiskeys offer unique flavor that play a key role in the final spirit. Predominately bourbon, the sweetness of BLACKENED pairs perfectly with the savory spice offered by the high rye composition.
Dave is renown for his whiskey finishesan aspect he calls "flavoring for adults". By resting the whiskey in the barrel of another spirit during the maturation phase, the whiskey picks up some of the unique, residual flavors left behind in the barrel. For BLACKENED, Dave chose to finish the whiskey
in black brandy casks. The result is an added apricot note that plays perfectly alongside the honey and caramel tones of the pre-finished spirit.
After the whiskeys have been combined in the black brandy casks for finishing, they're jolted back to life by the unmistakable, earth-shattering music of Metallica. Using our proprietary sonic-enhancement system BLACK NOISE, the whiskey is pummeled by sound, causing it to seep deeper into the barrel,
where it picks up additional wood flavor characteristics.

From the time Dave was a cadet at West Point, he was fascinated with the effects of soundthe way an organ can play a note that shakes an entire building. As he honed his craft over the years, the thought of what sound could do to whiskey at a molecular level stayed with him.
As it so happened, Metallica and Meyer Sound innovated a subwoofer employing that same range, harnessing the vibrations that make a Metallica concert the resonant, visceral experience their fans know and love.
The convergence of these ambitions have resulted in a sonic-enhancement method that utilizes a variation of the band's song-determined frequencies to disrupt the whiskey inside the barrel, causing increased wood interaction that kicks up the wood-flavor characteristics in the whiskey. We call this
proprietary sonic-enhancement process BLACK NOISE.
