High & Wicked Small Batch High Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
104 proof 5 years Bourbon High & Wicked Louisville, KY $82 51% corn, 39% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose

Dark cherry pie crust with caramel drizzle; rich, dark fruit with floral and spicy notes; sweet but complex with good depth for a five-year bourbon.

Palate

Initial sweetness from toasted barrel wood sugars that quickly drops off; substantial spice from both barrel and grains; layered oak character with dark fruit complexity.

Finish

Long, warming finish with lingering wood sugars and grain spice; velvety texture with sustained oak influence.

Really good
A standout high-rye bourbon with mature character, excellent spice balance, and depth that belies its five-year age statement.
