High West Double Straight Rye Whiskey

Our goal when making Double Rye was to create the spiciest rye you have ever had. However, the challenge is that the spiciness in rye peaks at 2 years. But at two years, it hasn’t had much time in a barrel to soften. This is where blending comes into play. 

 

To give Double Rye its intense, spicy flavor, we have young rye in the mix. But then we blend in some of our own pot still whiskey. The impact is significant - providing depth and barrel maturation character to balance the young rye. The result is a delicious, spicy rye that is perfect in cocktails. If you like an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Sazerac then Double Rye is your baby.
