High West Double Rye 750 ML

Marriage of two straight rye whiskies that combines the feisty properties of a high rye 2-year-old and the saddle smooth richness of a 16-year-old. The 2-year-old has a 95% rye 5% barley malt mashbill. The older rye has a ”barely legal” rye mashbill of 53% rye and 37% corn. The extra age and corn provides some extra sweetness to calm the ”bite” of the younger rye for a relationship that works. Wine Enthusiast 90 pts - This blend of straight rye whiskeys has a light amber hue and a scent redolent of brown sugar and baked apple, plus a fleeting sarsaparilla note. Most of the allspice and oak flavor comes through on the long finish. At 92 proof, this rye feels relatively hot; mix into Sazeracs and other cocktails..Kara Newman, July/2015 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 pts - Toasted caramel, grilled orange, and a blast of dried herbs flow from the glass of this delightful rye. The has huge complexity palate balancing maturity and youth alternating waves of sublime confectionary tones and invigorating adolescent spice. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Great Value).April/2018
