  • It doesn’t have the complexity of its corresponding rye, but it’s an easy sipper and pleasant enough.

  • Nose:

    Sweet and loaded with creamy vanilla, brown butter and some toffee.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel on the palate. There’s a hint of youth and some heat, but it’s pleasant enough. Creamy sweetness, brown butter, toffee and some pear and apple.

  • Finish:

    Long finish. A good deal of tobacco, clove, pepper and some vanilla bean.

  • Overall:

    A pleasant entry from High N' Wicked, this is a great start, and the cask strength goes a long way. It doesn’t have the complexity of its corresponding rye, but it’s an easy sipper and pleasant enough.
