Young and Old from the Rockies.
High West distillery is a manufacturer and blender of spirits, located in Park City, Utah, hidden deep within the Rocky Mountains. Founded in 2007 by David Perkins, this petite distillery makes its spirits in small batches and is the first legally licensed distillery in Utah since the end of the American Prohibition. Most of their spirits are sourced and blended, although they do distil some of their spirits themselves.
The Double Rye is made from the marriage of two straight Rye Whiskeys with very different compositions. One is a 2-year old fresh Whiskey with a high rye content, and the second is a 16-year old Whiskey with a lower rye content and higher corn percentage. The extra age and corn provides some extra sweetness to calm the "bite" of the younger rye for a relationship — an interesting combination that seems to work.

Ratings & Reviews
Mathew,
Love the hint of mint and floral flavor. Very different from the typical spicy whiskey I normally drink. Refreshing and delicious
Liz,
Perfectly balanced sipper with a smooth finish despite a moderately spicy start
Dmitriy,
Mediocre rye. Nothing offensive. Nothing impressive.
Jaime,
Love this stuff
Jon,
High west does a great job. I have not had an offering of theirs I disliked. you really should have a few bottles of theirs especially considering their excellent prices
