High West Rendezvous Rye Ed Mell Edition (2021 Release)

Nose is lemon, salt, dill. It’s floral too. Body is strawberry, chocolate, grain. Finish is more chocolate, with mild black pepper. Some walnuts on the finish too. This is tasty and unique, but I can’t help feeling like its a bit overpriced.

High West Rendezvous Rye (Ed Mell Artwork) Nose: A good blend of nice rye spices— seeming like a fresh green rye grain note. This is a very sweet nose and is full bodied. Palate and Finish: On the palate sweetness comes through overwhelmingly, in all the right ways. The rye grain makes itself known, but it is not too spicy and not overpowering at all. There is an excellent sweetness on the palate and a nice short but rich finish on it. As it sits on the palate longer, the rye grain reveals itself more heavily on the end, and it, along with a fresh grass note are what is left. On the whole, this whiskey is quite enjoyable. The sweetness of bubble gum, the rye, and the sweet grassy qualities in it make it inviting to continue sipping.

Fruity/sweet and spicy! Good complex rye

Honey, spearmint, brown sugar, oily and Creamy. Finish is warming with nice spice explosion. Good balance of sweet and spice. Mint pops on the finish
