Distiller Notes
Legend has it, the only way to catch a glimpse of the cunning and elusive jackalope is to enjoy a glass of a truly incredible whiskey. That’s why High West made Bourye®, a cross between bourbon whiskey and rye whiskey (Bourbon + Rye = Bourye) that—like the jackalope itself—is unique, mysterious, and gone in a flash. All whiskeys in this carefully crafted, limited-release blend are a minimum of ten years old. Overflowing with rich flavors of orange crème anglaise drizzled over dark chocolate ginger cake, with notes of espresso on the finish, Bourye® is sure to attract even the most discerning of jackalopes.

High West’s bourbon-rye blend that was part of the original core lineup and is now a limited annual distillery exclusive. Vanilla, citrus, and new leather on the nose. The palate offers maple syrup, cinnamon-sprinkled doughnuts, hot chocolate, and aged oak, all balanced by muted spice. Long, smooth, and filled with chocolate and cinnamon spice on the finish, where the flavors really sing. Still a great dram, too bad there isn’t more of it.
Capturing a broad range in one category, American Whiskey refers to any spirit made in America by distilling a mash of fermented grains—typically corn, wheat, rye or barley. American Whiskey must be distilled to no more than 95% alcohol and bottled at 40% or higher. In order to be labeled a straight Whiskey, it also must be aged in white oak barrels for a minimum of two years and not contain any added colors or flavors.
