High West Yippee Ki-Yay Rye Batch 1

High West Yippee Ki-Yay Batch #1 A double rye matured in oak barrels originally used to age two different types of wine. Californian Vermouth Barrels  and Californian Qupé Syrah barrels. A marriage of two straight rye whiskies, one was a 2 year old with a mashbill of 95% rye, 5% barley malt from MGP, and the older rye has a mashbill of 53% rye and 37% corn and was distilled at Barton Distillery. Batch number 1. "This blend of straight ryes finished in vermouth and syrah barrels now includes some of High West’s own whiskey, distilled in Utah. The nose is fresh and herbal, with spearmint, tarragon, dill pickle, fresh celery juice, and a candied note of orange Kool-Aid. Fruit, nut, and spice flavors temper some of the wild herbaceousness of the palate: blueberry jam, peanuts, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. Lengthy finish, with more dark fruit, nuts, spice, and oak."
