High West 21 year old Rocky Mountain Rye (Batch #2)

Made from a mash containing 53% rye and aged in used barrels. The relatively low rye content along with being aged in used wood means this is one soft smooth rye whiskey. Gentle mint green tea cinnamon nutmeg roasted nuts glazed fruit and candied corn all lie on a bed of vanilla and caramel. I tasted a “work in progress” sample last year which showed more oak. This expression is much better. Not as complex or dynamic as the flagship “Rendezvous Rye” from High West but I could drink this stuff all day long.
