High West Double Rye is a bold, complex blend of straight rye whiskeys, expertly crafted to deliver a rich combination of spice-forward character and bright botanical notes. Produced in the heart of Park City, Utah, this expression is a signature release from High West Distillery, known for their innovative blends and Western spirit.
Distilled from a unique blend of column- and pot-still whiskeys, each aged a minimum of two years, Double Rye is designed for both seasoned rye lovers and adventurous newcomers. The whiskey reveals vibrant layers of cinnamon, ginger snaps, juniper, mint, wildflower honey, and fresh green herbs. It's a whiskey that sips beautifully on its own but also shines in a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or Sazerac.
Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), High West Double Rye captures the bold essence of American rye with a twist of brightness and depth.
