Proof & ABV: 92 Proof (46% ABV)

Tasting Notes:

Production & Aging: High West Double Rye! is a blend of two rye whiskeys: a younger 2-year-old rye sourced from MGP and an older rye distilled by High West, aged up to 7 years. The combination of these whiskeys creates a balance between youthful spice and mature complexity. The whiskey is non-chill filtered to retain its full flavor profile.

Distinctive Characteristics: The blend of a high-rye mash bill from MGP and High West's own distillate results in a uniquely spicy and herbal rye whiskey. The younger rye contributes vibrant spice and botanical notes, while the older component adds depth and smoothness, making Double Rye! notably spicier than typical rye whiskeys.

Ideal Serving Suggestions: Enjoy neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors. Its bold spice profile also makes it an excellent choice for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where the rye's character can shine through.
