L. Lyons Brown III and Kevin E. Sachs, two former Brown-Forman senior executives, to present ultra-premium whiskeys that honor traditional methods, and the brand is transparent about every detail. This bourbon uses a mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted barley, fermented in a sweet mash, a rare method that sold at a premium in the pre-Prohibition era. Each grain is introduced in succession to save energy and water, and the mash is distilled through a 36-inch Vendome copper column still and doubler. It is aged a minimum of five years in seasoned, medium-toast new #4-char American white oak barrels, distilled, aged, blended and bottled entirely in Kentucky, and proofed to 104 after rigorous blind tastings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeather, pipe tobacco and rich oak lead the aroma. The palate balances rye spice, lightly toasted oak, light vanilla, Kentucky cream pull candy, a touch of white peppercorn, faint tobacco leaf and baking chocolate, in equal parts sweet, spice and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue crest label makes it a bold gift for bourbon fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 104 proof, a few drops of water open up the vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it in a Glencairn glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes a robust Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather, pipe tobacco, rich oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye spice, vanilla, cream candy, white pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tobacco leaf, baking chocolate, dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e High N' Wicked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight bourbon, high rye, sweet mash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51% corn, 39% rye, 10% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStills:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vendome copper column and doubler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium toast, #4 char new American white oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104 proof (52% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a splash of water, or build a bold Old Fashioned or Boulevardier.
