High West Double Rye Barrel Select - Syrah Finish

Getting used to the rye smell this is a little different rye maybe because of the age doesn’t seem mature enough. Still very good for a whiskey. Brings the heat with high proof cutting with ice the smell is nice and not overpowering. Light Carmel or maybe vanilla. I like the rye but maybe not the double rye. Still really good sipping.

Sweet smell. Dried out my tongue like a dry red wine. After going down it puckers the mouth a bit. Nice after taste.

Neat. Nose is sweet, spicy blackberry cream. Taste is sweet blackberry up front followed by spice and dryness with a long dry spicy wine finish.
