General description

2021-04-18 Whiskey Tasting with Jim in Ohio. The evergreen "gin-like" flavors really came through this time, and I still liked it.

General description

By far the worst bottle I’ve had. Tastes like it needed several more years in the barrel. I will say it was better after it sat a couple weeks but overall it sucked bad.

General description

Really good depth

Nose

Herbal tea, a little mint, cinnamon

Palate

Spearmint, spicy, coats the mouth, sweet, but a little thin

Finish

Refreshing tingle, light spice, mellow sweetness

General description

Good intro rye, will buy again

General description

A Blend of Straight Rye Whiskeys. Ive always been a fan of High West. Bought this for 39.99. Good cheap rye, Rating 75/100, add a point for value so 76/100

Nose

Cinnamon and Baking Spice, Caramel, Berry, Sugar, Milk chocolate/coco

Palate

Spice, cinnamon, caramel, liquorice, cherry, baked goods flavor, little bit of a lemon citrus

General description

Great nose with hints of spice, pine, and mint. Smooth, lingering finish.

General description

Very sweet, especially on the nose. Some interesting flavors like mint and pear underlying some caramel and rye spice. A good, young rye.

Nose

Very sweet, caramel, some anise and mint.

Palate

Mouth feel is a little bit thin. Caramel, pear, mint, rye spice. Maybe a bit of pine.

Finish

More of the caramel and pear. A bit of vanilla. Not too much heat, but the heat lingers longer than the flavors.

General description

Spicy, herbal, mint

cinnamon, almost Dark fruit
best for me with an ice cube.

General description

Very smooth,less burn than a lot of rye's. Would definitely recommend.

General description

Bad rye whiskey. Much better options out there.

General description

Really smooth. I'd compare it to Angel's Envy but not quite as full flavored and oaky.

General description

Very nice unique rye. Slight spice expected with a rye but not not strong. Slight cinnamon and have to mention the dill notes as well. Really enjoying this expression from High West and look forward to seeing how this bottle progresses.

General description

a nice rye

General description

I am not a big rye fan, but this is surprisingly good. It still has the, "giant hole" in it's flavor profile that seems to plague most every rye I have tasted, but HW still comes through with some good flavors. I am a big cinnamon fan and this rye is short on cinnamon and cloves. It has back of the month heat which is much preferable to the front heat that lesser drinks seem to provide. My rye of choice is the Sazerac 6yr(now NAS). It is full of cinnamon, has more flavor than HW, and is only $29. It is not as readily available, but it is a better value. I would like to try the HW Rendezvous Rye, but it is even pricier. I understand that rye leaves space in it's profile for mixologist to operate and fill in the blanks, but I much prefer a dram that is more ready to drink.

General description

Spicy up front, strong dill pickle takes over and lingers.

General description

I was very impressed. A great rye whisky.

General description

My go to rye. Always delivers what I want with a rye.

General description

Licorice and mint on the nose. Very heavy rye but what you would expect from this type of rye. It's definitely more of a younger blend with lots of herbals and a little bit of caramel.

General description

peppery rye kick with all the herbaciousness you would expect. clove, anise, honey, lemon oil, rye bread, and white pepper. beautiful. does seem a little astringent at times.

General description

Lovely Stuff. Not as spicy as i was anticipating considering the high rye content. This is the best rye ive had to date. Classy & Smooth. Reasonably priced. Have finished two bottles and will buy again soon.

General description

I love the complexity and the evolution of this whisky. Smooth and sweet up front with a spicy kick on the back end. Only disappointment was the finish, which was short and pretty flavorless

Nose

Briny, cinnamon, dill, spicy marshmallow?, sweet

Palate

Spicy, caramel, smooth light brown sugar up front that gives way to the spicy flavors, vanilla

Finish

Spiciness stays on your tongue but sadly the flavor fades quickly, oak

General description

Heavy rye.

General description

Licorice is very noticeable on the nose along with clove and caramel - its unusual. Taste is honey sweet and slightly minty. Spicy medium finish with little burn but provides a nice warmth. Interesting double or blended rye concept and very good overall.

General description

Great go to rye. Nice spice, but not overbearing. I’ve only had it neat, might be good in a old fashioned.

General description

Sweeter than others. Great, a go to for me.

General description

great spice and a clean finish

General description

So good for the price. An amazing whiskey. Very smooth for a double rye

General description

Pretty good stuff
