High West Double Rye

Spice forward and delicious.

Love it. Very herbal with flavors of tea leaves.

Bbq with christina at woodstock before whiskey night. Light, nice steady burn.

This has a great nose, the unmistakable spiciness of a Rye with an unusual sweet honeydew vibe. Give it three good whiffs and it smells better with each one. It goes down easy, maybe a touch sweeter than the average rye, notes of apricot and just the right amount of burn. I typically use Rye for an Old Fashioned, but so far haven't mixed a drink with this that really works...it's much better neat. Even adding ice seemed to diminish the flavor, so I'm content to just sip on this one. Maybe even equal as a sipper to Woodford Reserve Rye, but a unique flavor all its own.
