Blackened Batches
Metallica's Blackened continues to make and release new batches all the time. While they do a great job of keeping track of the playlist for each batch, they do not show you a list of what batches were special, what strengths they came in, etc. So this page aims to do that.
Blackened comes in two strengths:
- Standard strength: 90 proof / 45% alcohol
- Cask strength: 117.4 proof / 58.7% alcohol
