High n’ Wicked has announced the release of its first cask strength rye and its newest cask strength bourbon expressions, both with a limited release.
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, or 124 proof.
The Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey expression meanwhile features a five-year aged sweet mash, with the goal of greater complexity of flavor. The mash bill includes 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted barley and is distilled, aged and bottled at cask strength – 61.6% ABV or 123.2 proof.
High n’ Wicked was founded in 2019 by W.L. Lyons Brown III and Kevin E. Sachs, two former Brown-Forman senior executives who were instrumental in building both Jack Daniel’s and Southern Comfort in Europe and Asia.
Both new expressions have an SRRP of $90, which may vary market to market. All offerings are regularly available in 41 US states and Washington DC, as well as via the brand’s own website.
