High West Rendezvous Rye Limited Supply Blend of Straight Rye Whiskeys 750ml

High West Rendezvous Rye is the flagship whiskey from High West Distillery in Park City, Utah, and a modern benchmark for the rye category, presented here in one of the brand's collectible Limited Supply artist edition labels featuring vivid Western artwork. Named after the legendary mountain man rendezvous of the 1820s, the first recorded whiskey gatherings out West where frontiersmen traded pelts, supplies, and homemade spirits, it is a carefully composed blend of straight rye whiskeys built around an unusually high rye content. While most rye on the market today is barely legal, using just 51 to 53 percent rye in the mashbill, Rendezvous honors the way rye was historically made, marrying a 95 percent rye recipe from MGP in Indiana with High West's own prized 80 percent rye, 20 percent malted rye pot still distillate for full, uncompromised flavor. The component whiskeys are aged in new charred American oak, and the whiskey is bottled at 46 percent ABV without chill filtration and with no added flavor, preserving its natural depth and texture. It pours a rich golden honey and opens with an aromatic nose of orange peel, dried apricots, mint, clove, pine, and caramelized sugar. The palate is bold and spicy, with ginger and cinnamon up front giving way to sweeter notes of molasses, vanilla, macaroon, and toasted oak, while the finish carries lively rye spice that fades into lingering caramel, orange zest, and tobacco. A genuine rye lover's rye that is also approachable enough to win over newcomers, it shines neat, over a large cube, or as the backbone of an exceptional Manhattan or whiskey cocktail.
