“I believe that this distillery is the Pappy of Rum” – Fred Minnick, Author of “Rum Curious”

Château Arton presents a line of entirely estate grown Armagnacs coming from the rare and distinctive Haut Appellation. “Grown, not produced” and created by two icons in the world of Armagnac, Patrick de Montal and his wife Victoire de Montesquiou at their home near Lectoure, France. In 2017, Château Arton was awarded the highest honor in France – The Prix d’Excellence, by the French Ministry of Agriculture. Over 22,000 products were submitted – Arton having been selected as the best Brandy, not just Armagnac, in all of France.

High N’ Wicked, based in Jackson, Wyoming, was formed to present and develop unique American whiskies – releasing singular limited expressions annually that it deems worthy of its name. The first release – HNW No. 1 “The Honorable” – was released in August 2020, a 12 Year Aged Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Ex-California Cabernet Barrels. followed in August 2021 by HNW No. 2 “The Wild Rover” – a Triple Distilled Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Double-Cask Matured in Ex-Bourbon Barrels, followed by Ex-Pedro Jimenez Sherry Casks.
