Product Details

Nose: Caramel and vanilla dominate, followed by hints of oak and baking spices. A touch of citrus peel and dried fruit adds complexity.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Brown sugar and toasted nuts lead, with layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper. Rye spice provides a subtle kick, balanced by smooth honey and butterscotch notes.

Finish: Medium to long. Warm oak lingers, accompanied by a gentle sweetness reminiscent of maple syrup. A hint of dark chocolate and leather rounds out the experience, leaving a pleasant dryness on the tongue.

High N' Wicked 5 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is crafted using a unique four-grain mash bill of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley, then aged for a minimum of five years in new, charred oak barrels. The distillery's location in the heart of Kentucky's bourbon country allows them to take advantage of the region's limestone-filtered water and dramatic temperature fluctuations, which contribute to the bourbon's rich flavor profile and smooth finish.

High N' Wicked 5 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is crafted using a unique "double-barrel" aging process. After initial maturation, the whiskey spends its final months in barrels that previously held Caribbean rum, imparting subtle notes of tropical fruit and molasses to the classic bourbon profile.

The distillery employs a resident "bourbon historian" who combs through centuries-old recipes and distilling logs to inspire their production methods. This bourbon's mash bill is based on a rediscovered formula from an 1820s Kentucky distiller's journal.

High N' Wicked takes its name from a notorious 19th-century bourbon saloon in Louisville, which was frequented by both lawmen and outlaws. Legend has it that the original proprietor buried a cache of rare whiskeys beneath the floorboards, which have never been found.
