High N' Wicked 15 year old No.8 The Jury Madeira Cask Finished, 52%

Price: 130 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

After 14 years in new oak and 1 year in madeira casks, the verdict is in: This whiskey is opulent and weighty, with a nose of cherry pie, sarsaparilla, and bracing ash. Raspberry jam and dark chocolate lead the sip with chile pepper spice and charred bell peppers in support. With time, the whiskey’s sweeter elements take center stage, with cherry cordials and cinnamon candies leading to a long dark chocolaty finish buttressed by charred oak.
