Distiller Notes
A barrel-finished versions of High West's Double Rye! This PX Sherry barrel-finish whiskey is delicious, distinctive, and unique. Aromas of mint, clove, cinnamon, licorice root, pine nuts, and dark chocolate, with a surprising dose of gin botanicals throughout. Rye spices up front on the palate, then menthol, mint, eucalyptus, herbal tea with wildflower honey and allspice. The finish offers notes of cinnamon and mint, gradually sweetening through the finish with a hint of anise.
Proof: 97
Known for its peppery, spicy bite, Rye serves as the ideal base for cocktails like the Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. In order for a spirit to be labeled an American Rye Whiskey, the mash bill must be comprised of at least 51% rye grain. The remainder of the mash is most often a combination of malted barley, wheat or corn. After distillation is complete, the spirit is transferred to unused, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years, though many producers choose to age longer.
