High N' Wicked produces a range of high-end, sourced straight whiskeys, including a flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon known for its high-rye mash bill and unique flavor profile. The brand focuses on transparency and unique, limited releases, in addition to its core offerings

Product Details

• Mash Bill: The core Kentucky Straight Bourbon uses a high-rye mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted barley.
• Aging: It is aged for a minimum of five years in new #4 char American white oak barrels and is non-chill filtered.
• Proof: The standard expression is bottled at 104 proof (52% ABV). Cask strength versions are also available.
• Production: The bourbon is produced using a sweet mash process, which is relatively rare in Kentucky, and distilled on an all-copper column still with a doubler.

Tasting Notes & Reviews

Reviewers note that the high-rye content results in a unique profile that balances sweet and spicy notes, often described as different from the "status quo" of other bourbons.

• Nose: Aromas often feature notes of dark stone fruits (cherries, plums), caramel, mild dry oak, and rye spices like cloves and anise, with a touch of tart orange citrus.
• Palate: The taste is described as rich and full-flavored, with initial sweetness (caramel, simple syrup) giving way to baking spices, orange notes, and a notable dry, bold character with sturdy alcohol heat.
• Finish: The finish tends to be moderate to long, becoming increasingly dry with lingering spice, citrus, and a pleasant warmth.

Reviewers have praised the whiskey for its complexity and unique characteristics, noting it feels barrel-driven despite the high rye content. Some limited releases, like "The Judge" (14-year Tennessee bourbon finished in Tokaji barrels) and "The Honorable" (12-year Tennessee finished in Cabernet barrels), have also received positive reviews, though some individual preferences vary.
