Blackened x Wes Henderson
Following Blackened x Willett, the first release in Blackened’s Masters of Whiskey Series, Blackened x Wes Henderson is a collaboration with the recently retired Angel’s Envy Co-Founder, Wes Henderson. Aside from the unique collaboration, Blackened x Wes Henderson is finished in white port casks before it undergoes Blackened’s Black Noise sonic enhancement process.

Overall
An acidic palate and a peppery spice finish makes for a contrasting and unexpected whiskey. This particular whiskey does a complete 180 between the palate and finish, creating a unique and intriguing flavor combination. Blackened x Wes Henderson is far from boring, and you’ll enjoy the unexpected contrast it brings, perhaps more than the whiskey itself.
