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

Dark cherry pie crust with caramel drizzle, dark fruit, rich sweetness, both floral and spicy with fruity character.

Palate

Initial impression of sweetness from toasted barrel wood sugars that quickly drops off, giving way to substantial spiciness from both barrel and grains, with pronounced oak character from the number four char.

Finish

Wood sugars fade to reveal sustained barrel spice and oak influence.

Really good
A high-rye bourbon that drinks noticeably older and warmer than its five years, with an impressive spice profile and rich barrel influence that rewards seeking out.
