High West Double Rye

Sweet to start with building heat and complexity. Very smooth for a rye!

Excellent rye for the price point Highly recommend

Starts out sweet. Goes down smooth. Nice warmth after without tbt peppery taste. Delicious

Not a lot on the nose, maybe a little sweet and a little cinnamon. A cinnamon/baking spice combo on the tongue and finish. Lots of rye spice. A little more spicier and (for me) interesting than old grand dads BiB

Citrus, floral, very light vanilla, caramel finish, long tapper

I tasted this American Rye neat at 46%abv in the afternoon. I could not find details on the post-treatment of this whiskey. The nose is full of black licorice/anise, dill, dill, and lots of dill for me. With a drop of water, the spices part into a big splash of red apples. The palate opens up more spices and a long leathery note with vanilla that lingers. Sometimes the dill weed spice blooms into an almost astringent dill pickle. The finish is nice and medium-long, however, and pleasant.

Kind of muddled and bland. I got the characteristic caramel and vanilla, with less sweetness than a bourbon but somehow little of anything else
