Product Detail

High West Double Rye! is the whiskey equivalent of a spicy stand-up comedianbold, a little wild, and guaranteed to leave a lasting impression with its punchy rye spice and unexpected botanical notes.

46% ABV, 750 ml. This was one of the first products from High West, a blended rye

"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."93 Points, 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

"We get asked all the time why double and why !? Double, because this whiskey is created from two rye whiskeys (both a minimum of 2 years old). The exclamation point is to signify our aim with this whiskey: showcase the beauty that is rye and create the spiciest rye whiskey in the world. We think we did that. The younger rye (sourced by High West) is produced on a column still and tastes of cinnamon, clove, anise, eucalyptus buttons, and evergreen gin-like flavors. 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." Note: this was originally a purchased 16 year old rye, and the distilled two year old at High West, but they had to dial the age down a bit over the years.
