High West Old Fashioned Barrel Finish Cocktail

Sweet but 86 proof!

Overly sweet on forefront with strong bite of heat from the MGP sourced rye. Honey, orange, lemon.

Good Old Fashioned Example

Great rye, awful cocktail. This is _super_ sweet. Next time, I will mix this 50/50 with a High West rye.

This is a classic old fashioned with High West’s straight rye & straight bourbon. It’s delicious. I’m usually not a cocktail guy, but I was curious to check out the bottle since the price point was reasonable. It totally blew my expectations out of the water. With a lemon and orange twist garnish this old fashioned tasted better than any other old fashioned I’ve ever had. High West products are always impressive. I am going to let my friends mooch from this coming weekend and will update this with their feedback too. Correction: they used Used Rye Barrels
