High West Double Rye Barrel Select Whiskey

High West Double Rye is bold, spicy, and full of character - everything you want in a rye whiskey with an extra layer of sophistication. Composed by blending two distinct ryes, it brings together the punchy spice of a younger 2-year-old (95% rye, 5% barley malt) with the depth and maturity of a 7-year-old (53% rye, 37% corn). This combination of youth and age creates a whiskey that's both lively and complex.

After aging, the blend is finished in cognac barrels, where brandy-soaked oak imparts fruity and nutty notes that round out the sharp rye spice. The result is a whiskey that balances bold peppery flavors with touches of dried fruit, caramel, and delicate florals. At 100.6 proof (50.3% alcohol by volume (ABV)), it delivers plenty of strength while staying smooth enough to sip neat or mix into a standout Manhattan.
