High West Double Rye! is a blend of two straight rye whiskeys (both aged a minimum of two years) — a 95% rye/5% barley malt column-still rye and High West's own 80% rye/20% malted rye pot-still distillate. Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), it delivers bold rye spice with bright botanical, gin-like notes of mint, clove, licorice and eucalyptus, balanced by caramel and vanilla richness, making it a versatile whiskey for sipping or classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
