High West Double Rye

A blend of two straight whiskeys: a very young 2 year old high rye content whiskey and a 16 year old rye whiskey with a lower rye content. Perhaps the spiciest American whiskey I have ever tasted yet at the same time quite tame and mellow. Complex notes of mint clove cinnamon licorice root pine nuts and dark chocolate with a surprising dose of gin botanicals throughout. A soft underbelly of caramel sweet corn and soothing vanilla provides an interesting counterpoint. Very easy-drinking too (hard to believe it’s 46%). Intriguing and a must-try for rye whiskey aficionados — even if only to satisfy your curiosity.
