High N' Wicked 5 year old High Rye Cask Strength, 62.6%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2023 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Fruity and dense, the nose has plenty to love: there’s Fig Newton, fruit-and-nut roll, fresh apple slices, Martinelli’s apple juice, and cherry cough drop. Cinnamon and apples overtake the palate, with caramel apple, baked apple, and cinnamon stick front and center. A decent amount of char and wood are also present, and the char in particular picks up on the finish, partnered with caramel swirl, coffee bean, and apple muffin.
