“Double rye blend — MGP 95/5 + High West 80/20 malted-rye pot still”
Tasting notes
- nose
- mint, clove, allspice, licorice root, dark chocolate, gin botanicals
- palate
- bright rye spice into menthol, eucalyptus, lemon, ginger tea with wildflower honey
- finish
- cinnamon candy softening to spiced sweetness and a hint of anise
Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
Two straight ryes: (1) 95% rye / 5% barley malt sourced from MGP (Lawrenceburg, IN) — column-still spice, mint, gin-botanical lift; (2) 80% rye / 20% malted rye distilled by High West — pot-still richness, caramel, woody vanilla. Double means two ryes married; the brand historically aimed to showcase the beauty of spicy rye.
