High West Double Rye

Aroma - floral notes are really popping through here. Some slight vanilla and cherries, mint, slight pine… very nice for $30 bottle (got it on sale)… hope the taste follows suit. Taste - my hopes were high coming off the nose…. It doesn’t live up to the nose unfortunately … but I’m being a little critical here… Rye, mint, hints of cinnamon and baking spices and brown sugar on the finish. There’s a sweet vanilla frosting note in there as well that brings a bit more complexity…. It’s a tad thin even for 92 proof. It’s crushable and doesn’t stick to the palate. Overall- solid rye at its price point of $30-35 … would not pay anymore than that… this would be a an amazing mixer for an Old Fashion or Manhattan. Tons of aroma and above average complexity at the $30-$35 range. This is one that I will keep on hand for those “friend/family” events Preferred this one over Rendezvous

I would not buy this again. High west makes good Rye just have to buy better select versions.

Pretty good. Smooth for a rye, but not real strong or distinguished flavor. Would drink again but other better options like Rittenhouse even at the great price point I got on this sale.

Sweet, but with a back end charred flavor. Not oily or spicy at all. Very smooth. Highly recommend.
