Episode 239 - Rob Dietrich

METAL UP YOUR PODCAST - All Things Metallica

Rob Dietrich is the master distiller and blender for Metallica's Blackened whiskey. In this episode we talk with Rob about his early days in the music industry, transitioning into distilling, becoming the master distiller of Stranahan's, Dave Pickerell, getting the gig with Metallica, the distillation process, the unique Black Noise process used for Blackened, unique batches like #100 and the Black Album batch #114 and more!

We also discuss St. Vincent's badass cover of "Sad But True," the newly released alternate version of the same song as well as how we would improve clean tone in metal, the Hellfest lineup, the power of Led Zeppelin, our new iTunes contest and our Blackened Batch #114 giveaways. Enjoy!
