High West Bottled in Bond (Batch 23L19), 50%

Price: 80 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Rye Whiskey

Made with 100% house-distilled pot still rye. Aromatic and lightly fruited, with a hint of musty attic and pleasant dryness on the nose. The palate is polished and well-spiced, with fruity notes of passion fruit, orange peel, and melon. Overall, it’s full-bodied with lots of flavor and is well-balanced against an edge of appealing austere dryness. The finish is long and offers more of the same.
