Highwest Double Rye Whiskey Tasting and Review | Speakeasy Bourbon Club  
Highwest Double Rye is a blend of 2yr and 16 yr old whiskey. The first thing I get here is that young rye spearmint but it is rounded out with a sweet glaze taste. Toasted nuts and more sweetness on the palate with surprising heat from a 46% ABV. I find this complex with the young and old rye complementing each other quite nicely and lends to the medium smooth finish of smells you would get from a bakery. For around $35 it’s a welcomed upgrade from the traditional bottom shelf rye staples. Cheers  
Classification: Blend of Straight Rye Whiskeys Company: High West Distillery Distillery: Sourced Released: Ongoing Proof: 92 Age: Blend of 2 rye whiskeys: 2 & 16 year (2014) Mashbill: 2 year rye has 95% rye and 5% barley, 16 year rye has barely legal 53% rye and 37% corn (plus something else High West? This only adds up to 90%). Color:  Yellowish Gold MSRP: $35 (2017)   Nose: Complex, with a distinct “young rye” eucalyptus/menthol note that is well-balanced and held in check by a malty sweet cinnamon-roll character, complete with that sinful white confectioner’s glaze. Deeper in the glass, there are some rye grain and flour notes (bready, yeasty, nutty).
