Wes Henderson: Back to Business with Blackened

Bourbon Hall of Famer and founder of Angel’s Envy Wes Henderson’s retirement was VERY short to say the least.

Henderson is back to work creating a limited release with Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey… good luck trying to find it. It is only the second in Blackened’s Master’s of Whiskey Series.

Henderson, in speaking directly with Blackened said the following:

“I didn’t think I’d be working on another whiskey so soon after my retirement, but I couldn’t pass this up… As a close friend of Dave’s, I’ve been watching BLACKENED for a while now and have been impressed with Rob, the team, and with what they’ve created. It was an incredible experience getting to work closely with Rob, compare palates and use our respective skill sets in cask finishing to develop this flavor profile. We both have a very similar approach to whiskey – that it takes drinkers on a journey. I believe we accomplished that with this expression, and the fact we were able to tie-in a charity that’s serving the community of Western Kentucky, which is so near and dear to my heart, is amazing. I can’t wait for others to try it!”

We were fortunate enough to find a bottle – you will be as well.
