High n' Wicked is a new independent bottler in the whiskey market, founded by former Brown-Forman executives. They focus on sourcing Kentucky bourbon and rye without gimmickry, prioritizing quality over gimmicks.

There is so much sourced whiskey on the shelf today, in such a dizzying array of formats, that I don’t envy the task of any young company trying to break into this particular niche of the spirits world.

In some respects, High n’ Wicked looks like a pretty typical independent bottler. It was founded in 2019 by two well-heeled former Brown-Forman senior executives, W. L. Lyons Brown III and Kevin E.
