About High West 21 Year Old Rocky Mountain Rye Whiskey
High West Rocky Mountain Rye 21 Year Old isn’t technically rye whiskey since it wasn’t aged in new, but rather refill barrels. But it is whiskey distilled from rye. It’s also incredibly rare for an American whiskey to reach such age. The thing is, this impressive spirit is almost extinct, so finding a bottle is almost Ethan Hunt’s level of impossible. Its character is sweet, hot, and spicy. Pretty spectacular stuff.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this wonder!
About High West
Situated at the bottom of the Quitting Time Ski Run in Park City, High West Distillery & Saloon is the first distillery in Utah since Prohibition and the only ski-in gastro-distillery in the world. "We wanted to call High West a "saloon," says David Perkins, High West's founder, "because we wanted to pay homage to the history of saloons in the old West and the important role they played in each and every town that had one. The saloon was the main meeting place where town hall was held, important announcements were made, and people went to eat and drink. We want people to share that sense of community and friendship over High West."
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin. It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
The sweet nose introduces us to notes of toffee, figs, caramel, and cola. They’re followed by a burst of hot and spicy flavors ranging from nutmeg, cinnamon, and green oak, to charred wood, Masala chai, and Muscovado sugar. The long finish offers notes of green oak, caramel, and spiced tea.
