Episode 170- We’re thrilled to welcome Rob Dietrich — Master Distiller and Blender of Blackened American Whiskey — who joins us while on tour with Metallica as part of the explosive Metallica Takeover events.
Before becoming the face behind Metallica’s signature Blackened whiskey and cigar's, Rob lived a life few could imagine. From his early days serving in the U.S. Army to working as an event manager and roadie for some of the biggest names in music, Rob has truly seen it all — behind the scenes and behind the bar.
In this episode, Rob opens up about his wild journey through the world of live music, his transition into the whiskey industry, and how he blended both passions into something legendary. He shares the science behind Blackened Whiskey's sonic-enhancement process, using Metallica’s own music to shape the flavour of every barrel. He also shares his thoughts on the award winning Rye The Lightening
From backstage chaos to barrels of perfectly tuned whiskey, Rob’s story is one of grit, creativity, and rock ‘n’ roll spirit. @robwhiskey @blackenedwhiskey https://blackenedwhiskey.com
