About this product
Bold Spice, Wild Spirit.
High West Double Rye is the whiskey that made the distillery famous—a fearless blend that celebrates the spice and energy of rye in its purest form. Crafted from two straight rye whiskies, one youthful and brash (just 2 years old) and one matured and wise (up to 7 years), it strikes a harmony between boldness and finesse. The result is a whiskey with green herbal notes, vibrant spice, and a peppery kick, wrapped in a silky, slightly sweet finish. It’s a whiskey that doesn’t just speak—it sings, like a wild western ballad carried across mountain winds.
What makes Double Rye so captivating is the way it bridges contrast: youthful zest meets aged wisdom, high-rye mash bills collide, and the American West connects with global whiskey lovers—including in Ireland, where rye’s spicy character is steadily gaining admiration. Whether enjoyed neat in a snug bar or as the base for a world-class cocktail, this whiskey brings character to every pour. It feels as at home on a snowy night in Park City as it does in a Dublin whiskey den, sparking conversation with each sip. For those who appreciate complexity wrapped in warmth, Double Rye delivers with unapologetic flair.
Why we love it:
We love High West Double Rye for its fearless embrace of rye’s spicy heart. It’s layered, energetic, and versatile—an adventurous whiskey that’s equally suited for sipping slowly or crafting standout cocktails. Its youthful edge keeps it lively, while the older rye grounds it in maturity.
