Many thanks to @RichardofModernDrinking for this sample. I'm a huge fan of High West. I think it's one of the few craft distilleries that actually create a sum of something greater than the individual components. Now that they've been bought by a bigger spirits company, it'll be interesting to see if those talents can be more widely taken, or will it fizzle out. This one had a nose of mint and eucalyptus, classic rye aromas...but, a bit subdued from the bourbon's vanilla and caramel. I was expecting the taste to be a conflict between the rye's mint and the bourbon's vanilla, but it was rather well done...the bourbon backbone played well with the rye upfront. It's good...but personally, I'd rather have the bourbon or the rye, not both together. It's maybe me personally rather than a representation of this blend. Out of the hundreds of ways High West could've screwed this up, fortunately they found the one way to make it work right. Thanks Richard for this!
