High West Double Rye

Lemon/citrus, spicy tingle and some tannic astringency. Earthy hebacious flavor with intense rye spice, low ethanol presence. Long warming dry finish

While I am not a big fan of gin, this rye has some spicy floral notes very similar to gin (even hints of juniper) - but I find it VERY enjoyable and well balanced in this High West bottle. A very smooth yet refreshingly different whiskey to have in the collection.

This is a lovely Rye whiskey insomuch as it delivers spice and floral notes in the same moment. It’s very complex with a slightly sweet base and the consistency of a delightful mouthful of spice clear through a nice long finish. I’m very impressed with the ever changing profile based on what I may have eaten before sipping. I’ve sipped it a number of times before writing this review, and as always, neat with a few drops of water.

Lighter flavors with subtle spice and heat. Nothing offensive here. Smooth. It was accidentally served to me on a large rock that melted quickly, so that may be part of the “lightness”.

very smooth and rich slight floral notes, incredible spice! I have never tasted a rye like this one of my new favorites. 92 proof too so there is a little heat after you sip

This is one of my favorite ryes for use in an old-fashioned. Lots of tart fruit on the nose, cinnamon and cedar behind Granny Smith apples balanced by some vanilla Soft palate with late warmth sweeter than I expected The oak comes through later. Barrel notes come through the finish. This is well balanced and delicious.

This noses with the anise and dill super heavy, which makes sense for an MGP profile. Appreciate the baking spice as well. Hits the palate a bit thin (smooth?) but with the rye spice up front with a black pepper and dill finish. Really tasty and a great offering from high west at the price point.
