High West Double Rye 750ml

High West Double Rye

Double Rye! – the most excitable member of the High West family – is dedicated to the cowboy in all of us. An unusual shotgun marriage of two rye whiskies from two different distilleries back east, Double Rye! combines a feisty high rye 2-year-old and a saddle smooth 16-year-old. The younger rye has a mashbill with 95% rye/5% barley malt and the older has a more typical rye mashbill with 53% rye and 37% corn. We think the extra age and increased corn adds just enough caramel sweetness and woody vanilla richness to calm the bite of the younger rye for a relationship that works. The resulting combination is bold, balanced, complex and perfect for mixing we like a Double Rye! Manhattan. With a taste profile of cinnamon, clove, anise, eucalyptus buttons, evergreen gin-like flavors and a vibrant finish, Double Rye! is absolutely superb for sipping alone or sharing with other cowboys and good-looking strangers. High West is Utahs first distillery since 1870 and the worlds only ski-in gastro-distillery. If you find yourself in Old Town Park City, please stop (or ski) by to visit us. Wed love to share our passions with you: the American West, our contemporary Western victuals (pronounced and often mis-spelled vittles) and of course, pairing all the above with our greatest passion superb whiskey. 094922049230

TASTING NOTES

How to Enjoy
Double Rye stands on its own in cocktails, but is great served neat, with a little water, or on the rocks. 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.
