High West Distillery Double Rye!

92 points Wine Enthusiast: “Billed as “the spiciest rye whiskey anywhere,” this is a blend of two rye whiskeys, both a minimum of two years old, sourced from multiple distilleries. The 2018 bottling has a mild, honeyed scent, while the palate surprises with vanilla custard contrasted by traces of smoke, eucalyptus and cigar wrapper. As promised, the long finish explodes with a spicy burst—but don’t worry, it’s not too extreme to sip. Alcohol 46%. (Nov 2018)”

Thanks to its balance of cinnamon, anise, and honey, High West Double Rye! is great served neat, with a little water, or on the rocks. And its spirited flavor fortifies classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Old Fashioned. We recommend it for most occasions — sipping it in solitude by a campfire, savoring with favorite old friends, or sharing it with a good-looking stranger.
