About this bottle

This is the first bottled in bond whiskey release from Utah's High West Distillery with further releases expected to follow annually on a limited basis. The straight rye whiskey was distilled in one season (July-December 2018) at High West's Distillery in Wanship, Utah with a mash bill recipe of 80% rye and 20% malted rye. It was aged a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse and was bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof). Available nationwide beginning February 2024. Note: Regarding the batch number on the label, the first five numbers indicate the bottling date and the next set regards the distillation date: e.g. 23L19 H218 was bottled on Dec 19, 2023 and distilled the second half of 2018. (SRP $79.99)

ApollosBourbon 4.0

Wintergreen, sweet red fruit, and oak on the nose. The flavor profile is vastly different, however. Mint remains with a much darker flavor profile with dark fruit along with some pepper and heavy spice. Dry oak finish. Im not so certain it's worth the price. But there is some nice flavor happening.
