High West Double Rye!

High West Double Rye! comes from Utah's first legal distillery since 1870, High West Distillery, founded in 2006 by David Perkins, a former biochemist, and his wife Jane. Inspired by a visit to a Kentucky distillery and a love for the Old West, they set up shop in Park City, Utah, initially with a small 250-gallon still. High West is known for its innovative blending of whiskies, and Double Rye! is a prime example, artfully combining two different straight rye whiskies – one younger and one older – to achieve its signature spicy and complex flavor profile. While not an old classic in the historic sense, it quickly gained acclaim and has become a significant player in rye whiskey's resurgence, with the brand itself earning "Distillery of the Year" from Whisky Advocate in 2016. Notably, High West was the world's first ski-in gastro-distillery.

High West Double Rye! brings a punch of cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of mint to the party, making it a fantastic base for cocktails where you want that rye spice to really sing. It stands up beautifully in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, adding a distinct, flavorful backbone.

High West Double Rye! greets you with mint, clove, and a hint of pine. The taste is a balance of rye spice, honey, and herbal notes like mint and eucalyptus. It finishes with cinnamon and mint, evolving into a subtle sweetness with a touch of anise.
