Product details
High West Double Rye! is a distinctive rye whiskey crafted by High West Distillery, nestled in Park City, Utah. Established in 2007, High West holds the distinction of being Utah's first legally licensed distillery since the end of Prohibition. The Double Rye! expression is a blend of two rye whiskeys: a youthful, vibrant two-year-old and a more mature, refined seven-year-old. This combination showcases High West's dedication to blending techniques, resulting in a spirit that harmoniously marries bold rye spice with bright botanical notes.
On the nose, Double Rye! presents inviting aromas of mint, clove, cinnamon, licorice root, pine nuts, and dark chocolate, with an intriguing hint of gin botanicals. The palate is fresh and lively, offering flavors of cinnamon, gingersnaps, juniper, mint sprigs, and wildflower honey. The finish is rich, smooth, and refreshing, embodying the signature Speyside malt character. This versatile rye whiskey shines in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, where its spice and herbal notes complement the drink's sweetness. It also pairs excellently with robust cheeses, charcuterie, or spiced nuts, enhancing their flavors with its complexity. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, High West Double Rye! offers a dynamic and memorable tasting experience.
