On Wednesday, High n’ Wicked, the American independent bottler of whiskey, announced the release of two cask-strength whiskeys — a bourbon and a rye.
The rye was distilled by the popular Kentucky producer, New Riff Distilling, from a mashbill of 91% rye and 9% malted barley. The bourbon’s mashbill is 41% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted barley, and its distiller has not been announced — although we do know it was made in Kentucky.
The cask-strength rye is bottled at 62% ABV, while the bourbon is a hair weaker at 61.6%.
Each cask-strength whiskey has a suggested retail price of $90. All High n’ Wicked whiskeys are available in 41 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C., as well as online via the High n’ Wicked website and Curiada.
This is the first cask-strength rye whiskey release from High n’ Wicked.
