High N’ Wicked Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a bold expression of modern American whiskey craftsmanship, combining a rare Sweet Mash fermentation process with a high-rye mash bill for a flavor profile that’s anything but ordinary. Distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky, this bourbon uses a unique grain blend of 51% Corn, 39% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley, delivering a perfect harmony of spice, fruit, and structure.
Aged a minimum of 5 years in seasoned #4 char American white oak barrels, the bourbon is bottled at 104 proof (52% ABV)—the optimal proof selected by blind tasting for maximum character. Bottled without chill filtration and free of additives, High N’ Wicked preserves every nuance of aroma, texture, and color, offering a full-bodied experience from nose to finish.
