High West Rendezvous Rye

Once I learned this is what Midwinters nights dram was made of I had to try it, wow this is incredible. I’d love to taste this side by side with midwinters night. My favorite rye to date !

The nose is strangely more of an emotion than a scent. Definitely rye, and you think it's light but it's not. It's elegant. The taste is very thick and oily. There's some nice spice at the end, but really it's a seamless, heavy, mystifying experience.

A terrific surprise. Nearly a perfect rye: a little spicy, a little sweet (none of the overwhelming, cloying sweetness of other ryes), and a little rye-dough semi-moldy/semi-poppyseed snap. A beautiful grab on the tongue -- like a little pinch of fire -- with no medicinal aftertaste, and just a little shadow of toffee in the aftertaste. Easy but with a little attitude, an extraordinary rye for the cost, and an ideal sipping Rye. Highly recommended.
