Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla bean lead, followed by hints of dried apricot and orange zest. Oak spice and a touch of honey round out the aroma. Subtle notes of toasted almonds and cinnamon emerge as the bourbon opens up.

Palate: Smooth entry with flavors of butterscotch and toffee. The influence of the Tokaji casks becomes apparent with layers of golden raisin and candied peach. Warming baking spices like nutmeg and allspice add complexity. A pleasant oak char lingers underneath.

Finish: Long and warm. The sweetness from the Tokaji finish shines through with notes of honey and dried fruit. Gentle oak tannins provide structure, while a hint of black pepper spice lingers. The bourbon's age is evident in the refined, mellow fade.

High n' Wicked No. 6 "The Judge" starts as a 14-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon before undergoing a unique finishing process in ex-Hungarian Tokaji wine casks. This finish imparts subtle notes of stone fruits, honey, and spice from the sweet dessert wine, adding layers of complexity to the already well-aged bourbon.

  • High n' Wicked No. 6 "The Judge" is one of the few bourbons in the world finished in ex-Hungarian Tokaji casks, which previously held a sweet wine made from grapes affected by noble rot—a beneficial fungus that concentrates sugars and flavors.
  • The name "The Judge" is a nod to the bourbon's 14-year aging process, as it takes that long for a lawyer to become eligible for a federal judgeship in the United States.
  • This bourbon undergoes a unique "double-barreling" process: after initial aging in new charred oak barrels, it's transferred to the Tokaji casks for finishing, resulting in subtle notes of apricot, honey, and saffron that are extremely rare in American whiskey.
