Highwing Honey Rye Whiskey 750ml

Highwing Honey Rye Whiskey is a honey-infused rye whiskey produced by Sazerac, blending real honey into a rye base rather than relying on artificial sweetener. Because of the added honey, it's bottled at 70 proof — below the standard whiskey minimum — putting it closer to a whiskey liqueur in regulatory terms even though rye is clearly the backbone. The nose carries honey and baking spice, with the palate balancing sweetness against rye's characteristic grain bite, finishing silky and smooth. It's built to be more approachable than a straight rye, aimed at drinkers who find rye's raw spice too sharp on its own.

How to drink Highwing Honey Rye

It's easy enough to sip neat, but the honey sweetness also makes it a simple base for a whiskey sour or hot toddy without needing to add extra syrup — the sweetness is already built in.
