 Hi guys, welcome back. I'm Brian Sakawa, here again with my buddy Chris, and today we're going to be tasting high-west double rye. Alright Chris, high-west distillery, tell me a little bit about that. The distillery is a new one to the scene, founded in 2007 in Park City, Utah, and what's interesting about this distillery is it's the first legally licensed distillery in Utah since prohibition. So interesting thing about this one, the name, it's a double rye. What exactly is a double rye? What makes this a double rye is not that it uses twice as much rye, but it's a blend of two different age rye whiskies. One is a young two-year with a very high rye content in the mashbill. The other is a 16-year aged rye whisky with a, still has a lot, predominantly rye, but also much more corn in the mashbill, which gives it a little sweetness to it. The rye we tend to think of as being a little more spicy, and bourbon we have more sweetness and a little bit more corn in it. So the blend of those two give this a very interesting flavor profile. Wow. The first thing I notice is it starts off really sweet. I get a lot of white chocolate, maybe some vanilla, a little bit of vanilla to it. Not typical of what you would think of as a rye, but again we're talking about a double rye here. So it starts off sort of more like a bourbon, but then the finish has a little bit more spice and pepper and more like what you think of as a rye. That's exactly right, and that's why I love this whisky so much. You know, you begin to sip it and it just transforms in your mouth and changes on the palate and it really just gives an interesting experience. Not a very high alcohol content, it's a 46%, so 92 proof. 92 proof. Right. Not a very hot whisky. Not too much. It's also an excellent whisky to make a Manhattan with as well. So there you have it. High west double rye, really interesting whisky. Starts like a bourbon, finishes like a rye. Great in a Manhattan. Great for a Manhattan's. So thanks for watching guys.
