Maker Notes

Wheaters, come gather ‘round because this one's for you. A delicious and well-balanced wheated bourbon is something every whiskey lover should get their hands on. Ours is a chance for us to show you and the world what we’re capable of. By using our expertise in creating our delicious flagship bourbon, we tweaked our recipe and upped the wheat and kept the corn at the minimum. Our wheated bourbon consists of 51 percent corn, 45 percent wheat and four percent malted barley. The result? A liquid that allows for each ingredient to not only shine on its own, but highlights what happens when success meets craft.

High n’ Wicked is an importer and specialty bottler of exceptional whiskies. It was founded in 2019 by two former Brown-Forman senior executives, W. L. Lyons Brown, III and Kevin E. Sachs. Brown and Sachs worked together in the International Division in the 1990’s and were instrumental in building Jack Daniel’s and Southern Comfort in Europe and Asia.

The company features five year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Kentucky Straight Rye available year round. It will also offer unique, small production expressions of each annually, including cask strength, single barrel and double wood finishes. Some will carry greater age as the brands evolve.

High n’ Wicked also offers limited releases of American Bourbon, Single Malt Irish Whiskey and Single Grain Irish Whiskey. These “Singular Limited Releases” feature single barrels and expert double wood finishes that add layers of complexity to already superb distillates. There will be one to two of these annually approximating 1000 nine liter cases.

Duncan Taylor Dimensions Highland Park 19 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptional creation from the renowned Scottish distiller. This high-quality single malt showcases the distinctive whiskey character and exemplifies the finest style crafted in Scotland, making it a pinnacle of Single Malt Scotch Whisky excellence.

Teaninich was founded and built in 1817 by Hugh Munro on his estate of Teaninich Castle, Alness. Despite an initial difficulty of procuring barley whisky owing to a high demand from illegal distilleries, by 1830 Teaninich produced 30 times more spirit than it did at its founding. The distillery suspended production between 1939 and 1946 due to barley shortages during World War II.

Today Teaninich plays an important role for its owner, Diageo, in providing a signnificant volume of single malt whisky for use in its blending operations – Teaninich is one of its largest players.

A relatively long fermentation time is utilised at Teaninich, as well as large ball-type stills with slightly downwardly sloping lynne arms. The result? A particularly wonderful grassy and somewhat oily spirit that is fantastic for blending, and more magical yet as a single malt.

Maker Notes

Exclave Spirits was created to pay homage to the lost stories and contributions of Black people who have advanced distilled spirits. 

Black has been synonymous with cool for a long time, but now it’s time to write our story. Too often our stories are marginalized, if recognized at all. In recognizing this, Exclave exists to counter this tendency. Eschewing what has been previously written, opting instead for autonomy over our narratives. Ones that embrace pain and celebrate victory. Ones that fundamentally understand the role our history, both in this country and throughout the Diaspora, plays in our lives today. 

As we embark on this journey 3 principles are essential to Exclave: Authenticity, Freedom, and Self-Determination. 

With every product we release we explore the intersections of these concepts. Interrogating what they meant not only the vanguard of Black distillers who have laid the foundation we now stand upon, but for ourselves as we collectively determine a future that centers a Blackness that is vibrant, triumphant, and liberated. 

Exclave is a celebration of where we’ve come from and where we’re going.

Exclave Rye is a powerful blend of 51% rye 49% mash aged in new American white oak barrels to produce a rich whiskey that embodies the skill and sophistication of Black American spirits producers.

STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY FINISHED IN PORT WINE CASKS

Indiana Rye whiskey is brought to Texas where we batch it in our warehouse and finish it in old Port Wine Casks. The Texan sun influences the rate and strength of flavor imparted into the whiskey. Some casks take longer than others. The team tastes the whiskey finishing in the Port Wine Casks regularly until the optimal flavors are achieved. Casks are then batched together, tested regularly and proofed before bottling.

After serving in World War II as a Radar Bombardier, Elmer T. Lee returned to his home in Kentucky and earned his engineering degree from the University of Kentucky.  He joined the distillery in the late 1940’s as a maintenance engineer.  He first interviewed with Colonel Blanton who famously rejected him by saying, “Son, we’re not hiring any hands today”. Fortunately, Colonel Blanton changed his mind and Elmer T. Lee started working the following week.

His genius for bourbon production propelled his rise from Maintenance Engineer to Plant Engineer, where he was eventually promoted to Plant Superintendent.  From there he earned the shared title of Plant Manager and Master Distiller where he oversaw much of the distillery’s modernization and growth until he retired in 1985.  

After retiring Mr. Lee served as Master Distiller Emeritus and Ambassador for Buffalo Trace Distillery. He was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2002 he received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from Whisky Advocate, and again from Whisky Magazine in 2012. In 2013 Elmer passed away, leaving behind a prolific legacy of creativity and exploration that helped shape the Bourbon Industry into what it is today.
