High N’ Wicked Single Barrel Six Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 62,.5%-ABV, 750ml bottles.


About High N’ Wicked:


High N’ Wicked produces a range of high-end, sourced straight whiskeys, including a flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon known for its high-rye mash bill and unique flavor profile. The brand focuses on transparency and unique, limited releases, in addition to its core offerings

Product Details

Mash Bill: The core Kentucky Straight Bourbon uses a high-rye mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted barley.

Aging: It is aged for a minimum of five years in new #4 char American white oak barrels and is non-chill filtered.

Proof: The standard expression is bottled at 104 proof (52% ABV). Cask strength versions are also available.

Production: The bourbon is produced using a sweet mash process, which is relatively rare in Kentucky, and distilled on an all-copper column still with a doubler.

Tasting Notes & Reviews

Reviewers note that the high-rye content results in a unique profile that balances sweet and spicy notes, often described as different from the “status quo” of other bourbons.

Nose: Aromas often feature notes of dark stone fruits (cherries, plums), caramel, mild dry oak, and rye spices like cloves and anise, with a touch of tart orange citrus.

Palate: The taste is described as rich and full-flavored, with initial sweetness (caramel, simple syrup) giving way to baking spices, orange notes, and a notable dry, bold character with sturdy alcohol heat.

Finish: The finish tends to be moderate to long, becoming increasingly dry with lingering spice, citrus, and a pleasant warmth.

Reviewers have praised the whiskey for its complexity and unique characteristics, noting it feels barrel-driven despite the high rye content. Some limited releases, like “The Judge” (14-year Tennessee bourbon finished in Tokaji barrels) and “The Honorable” (12-year Tennessee finished in Cabernet barrels), have also received positive reviews, though some individual preferences vary.

Where to Buy

High N’ Wicked products are available in many U.S. states and online. The core 5-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon generally retails for around $80 MSRP, with online prices varying. Cask strength and limited editions are priced higher.
