High West Whiskey - Rendezvous Rye (750ml)

Blended from two exotic straight rye whiskies (a 6-year-old and a 16-year-old). Our inaugural whiskey commemorates the first recorded whiskey-fest out West. From 1825 to 1840, the “rendezvous” was the annual summer gathering of mountain men to exchange pelts for supplies. Alcohol was not one of the “supplies” at the first rendezvous. This oversight was quickly corrected with a generous supply of whiskey at the second rendezvous in Utah’s Cache Valley (and all subsequent rendezvous!). In this tradition of importing whiskey from back East, we craft Rendezvous Rye® from straight rye whiskeys with high rye mashbills. The rye shows all of its power in the finish-- menthol, sourdough, bright spices and lime zest. This delicious rye would be welcomed by any true connoisseurs glass. Rendezvous Rye is our flagship whiskey.  Almost every other straight rye whiskey you can buy today is barely legal, with 51-53% rye in the mash bill. Not Rendezvous Rye. It honors the way rye whiskey used to be made, with a high rye content and full, uncompromised flavor. With Rendezvous Rye, you get a taste of authentic rye whiskey.

Nose: A big nose of cinnamon stick, clove, vanilla, peppermint, caramelized sugar and dried fruit

Taste: Very spicy, with cinnamon, crisp mint and fennel, underlying sweet notes of caramel, molasses, vanilla, macaroon, cocoa, and candied fruit.

Finish: Takes hold with huge rye spice, cinnamon, orange rind, and vanilla and it lingers for ages.

ABV: 46%
