High West Double Rye Whiskey

High West Double Rye Whiskey is a bold blend of two straight rye whiskeys, each aged for at least two years. The younger component is a column-distilled rye made from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, while the older is a pot-distilled rye from High West, made from 80% rye and 20% malted rye. Bottled at 46% ABV, it brings vibrant spice and real complexity.

On the nose, it delivers mint, clove and cinnamon, with liquorice root, dark chocolate and a surprising hint of gin botanicals. The palate opens with rye spice, followed by menthol, eucalyptus and herbal tea sweetened with wildflower honey. The finish shows cinnamon and mint, sweetening gradually towards a touch of anise. A favourite among those who enjoy a robust spice kick, it is excellent neat or as the foundation for a Sazerac or Manhattan.
