High West Double Rye embodies a harmonious balance of bold rye spice with bright botanical notes that simultaneously showcase layers of freshness and complexity.
A blend of column and pot-still whiskies, aged for a minimum of two years, curated to highlight the wonderful, bold spice character that comes from high rye whiskies as well as a refreshing botanical brightness.
The younger rye (sourced from MGP) is produced on a column still and tastes of cinnamon, clove, anise, eucalyptus buttons, and evergreen “gin-like” flavours.
The older rye (distilled by High West) made using a pot still adds a richer, bolder character and just enough caramel sweetness and woody vanilla richness to calm the “bite” of the younger rye.
The resulting combination is bold, balanced, complex and perfect for mixing - a unique and balanced flavour profile of cinnamon, gingersnaps, juniper, mint sprigs, and fresh wildflower honey.
Mash Bill - A blend of straight rye whiskies with high rye content.
MGP: 95% rye, 5% malted barley;
HWD: 80% rye, 20% malted rye
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Mint, clove, cinnamon, licorice root, pine nuts, and dark chocolate, with a surprising dose of gin botanicals throughout
PALATE: Rye spices up front, then menthol, mint, eucalyptus, herbal tea with wildflower honey and all spice
FINISH: Cinnamon and mint, gradually sweetening through the finish with a hint of anise
Double Rye stands on its own in cocktails, but is great served neat, with a little water, or on the rocks. Its spirited flavour fortifies classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Old Fashioned. We recommend it for most occasions - sipping it in solitude by a campfire, savouring with favourite old friends, or sharing it with a good-looking stranger.
