Louisville, Kentucky · national
High N' Wicked Whiskey Co. represents a new breed of independent bottlers who have turned sourcing into an art form. Founded in 2019, the company has built its reputation on transparency and innovation, revealing the origins of their spirits while pushing boundaries through unique finishing techniques.
History & Heritage
Kevin Sachs and Peter Nevenglosky, the founders behind ImpEx Beverages, launched High N' Wicked in 2019 with a clear mission: curate distinctive whiskey expressions through careful sourcing rather than distillation. Operating as an independent bottler and blender, they hunt for exceptional aged spirits across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ireland. Their commitment to transparency about sourcing origins sets them apart in an industry often shrouded in mystery.
The Whiskey
High N' Wicked specializes in limited-edition, high-proof releases that showcase their blending and finishing prowess. They source aged whiskeys and employ strategic techniques like rum and sherry cask finishing to develop complex flavor profiles. Notable expressions include "The Jury" Kentucky Straight Bourbon, "The Wildfire" Kentucky Straight Rye, and "F&F" Irish Whiskey. Their uncut, unfiltered approach preserves the full character of each carefully selected barrel.
Why It Matters
In an era when provenance matters, High N' Wicked proves that sourcing can be as skillful as distilling. Their transparent approach and innovative finishing techniques offer those who appreciate good whiskey access to unique expressions that might never exist otherwise. Each release represents a specific moment in time, a particular barrel's journey enhanced by thoughtful curation.
