About the Distillery
High West Distillery is based in Park City, Utah, set high in the mountains and known for its thoughtful, craft approach to blending and distilling. Double Rye! is one of the brand’s signature releases, marrying a young, intensely spicy rye with an older, mellower one to create something more complex than either component alone. High West built its reputation on this art of the blend, and Double Rye! is a fine expression of it.
Style & Mash Bill
This is a blend of two straight rye whiskeys: one a very high-rye, almost all-rye spirit that brings bright, peppery intensity, and the other a more traditional rye with a gentler, rounder grain recipe that adds depth and balance. The component whiskeys are matured in new charred oak and married together, then bottled non-chill-filtered to preserve texture and aroma. The pairing yields a rye that is both punchy and refined.
Tasting Notes
Expect a fragrant nose of mint, eucalyptus, baking spice and a touch of caramel, leading to a palate of cinnamon, clove, dried fruit and gentle vanilla. The young rye gives a crisp, peppery snap while the older rye lends a warm, rounded depth, carrying into a long, spice-laden finish. It is complex, lively and beautifully balanced.
