High West Double Rye Bourbon 46% 700mL
🥃 High West Double Rye Bourbon is a spice-forward spirit, offering an intriguing mix of mint, clove, and cinnamon, with a backdrop of licorice root and pine nuts. This unique profile is punctuated by unexpected gin botanicals, making it a standout in the rye category.
Crafted by High West Distillery in Utah, USA, this bourbon combines youthful rye with older stock, creating a layered complexity not often found in younger expressions. Its duality is further highlighted by a soft caramel and vanilla underbelly, providing a smooth counterpoint to its spiciness.
The palate is honeyed yet robust, with walnuts and cacao adding depth. Clove and cinnamon spices bring a touch of warmth, while a long finish reveals leathery notes and a refreshing eucalyptus and menthol character.
At 46% ABV, it offers enough punch to stand up in cocktails, yet remains approachable enough to enjoy neat with a single cube.
