Highline Bourbon is a meticulously crafted blend of three straight bourbons: two high-rye bourbons from Indiana and a heritage Kentucky bourbon with a high malt barley content. This combination results in a bourbon that avoids an overly sweet, corn-forward profile, instead offering a delightful chocolatey sweetness complemented by genuine stone fruit flavors.
The aroma presents notes of caramel, butterscotch, and a touch of baking spice, with an oaky presence from the aged Kentucky bourbon. On the palate, it reveals stone fruit essence gently spiced by rye, along with abundant vanilla and oaky flavors.
Highline Spirits is a woman-owned company founded by CEO Christi Lower, a former pediatric surgery physician assistant and whiskey enthusiast. The company focuses on sourcing, blending, batching, and special-finishing premium small-batch spirits, aiming to create unique products that transcend traditional boundaries.
