High West Yippee Ki-Yay (2019 Release)

Sweet, spicy with a fruity nose

Definitely get the red fruit and sweetness from the French Oak barrels, but the flavors didn’t have the depth I expected. A bit hollow when compared with MWND which I expected to be similar. Not as much spice as I anticipated either, especially given the mashbill. Still a tasty dram, but not at ~$80.

Very sweet nose matched by a sweet palate. The vermouth and Syrah really shines through, along with brown sugar and a bit of pepper. The finish is long and moderately spicy, although I wish it was a little spicier to be honest. Very comparable dram to midwinters but not quite as complex or flavorful.
