HIGH ‘N WICKED KENTUCKY, High n’Wicked is an importer and specialty bottler of exceptional whiskies, founded in 2019 by two former Brown-Forman execs, W. L. Lyons Brown, III and Kevin E. Sachs. The two worked in the International Division in the 1990’s and were instrumental in building Jack Daniel’s and Southern Comfort in Europe and Asia.The company features five-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Kentucky Straight Rye available year-round. It will also offer unique, small production expressions of each annually, including cask strength, single barrel, and double wood finishes. Some will carry greater age as the brands evolve. High N’ Wicked Straight Rye Whiskey 98.2PF / 750ML Our Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of 95% Rye, 5% Malted Rye then aged for 5 years, in toasted and charred New American White Oak Barrels. Toasting allows for greater development of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and spice notes – while the char, a “Number Four” 55 second or “alligator char,” enhances the natural filtration processes of the spirit interacting with a layer of charcoal. High N Wicked Straight Rye Cask Strength 120PF / 750ML High n’ Wicked Straight Rye Whiskey uses a five year aged sour mash and a mash bill of 91% rye and 9% malted barley. The expression has been distilled by New Riff Distilling and bottled at 62% ABV High N’ Wicked Kentucky Straight Bourbon 104PF / 750ML Our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash bill of 51% Corn, 39% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley – fermented in a Sweet Mash. Sour mash is ubiquitous, sweet mash is not. We have grown familiar with sour mash, whereas sweet mash whiskeys have subtle sweet and buttery notes uncommon in many other whiskeys. They also allow for different and unique mash bills – further expanding the character of what we know as Kentucky Bourbon. Bottled without chill filtration, and with no additives to retain maximum flavor, aroma, color, and texture.
