High N' Wicked No. 7 Foursquare 2007 Barbados Rum Cask Finished, 50%

Price: 80 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Grain Irish Whiskey

A fragrant mix of aromas kicks this whiskey off—all at once there’s lime zest, mint sprig, Lemonheads, ripe banana, pear, and vanilla bean. Hot peppery spice coats the palate, though it swiftly fades and leaves cinnamon stick, shortbread cookie, strawberry jam, and lemon curd in its wake. The mid-length finish starts with more black pepper and jalapeño heat but ends on a sweeter note of frosted lemon cake.
