Description
High West Double Rye Whiskey is a blend of two straight rye whiskies, combining the vibrant character of a high rye 2-year-old with the velvety richness of a 16-year-old; the former featuring a 95% rye and 5% barley malt mashbill, while the latter boasts a “barely legal” rye mashbill of 53% rye and 37% corn, creating a balanced relationship where the older rye’s extra age and corn content soften the younger rye’s vigor.
This blend exhibits a light amber hue, aromas of brown sugar and baked apple with fleeting sarsaparilla notes, and a lasting finish rich in allspice and oak flavors. With its 92-proof strength, this rye whiskey delivers a robust presence, suitable for mixing into cocktails such as Sazeracs.
