High West Bourye (2016 Release)

Sample provided by a friend from his older stock. Allowed to rest in a glencarin for 5-10m. Color: medium amber, very slow, skinny legs Nose: rye bread, cherries, ethanol singe, pepper, dried brown tobacco Body: medium to heavy, viscous, quick ramp of sustained heat, drying Palate: lids of rich, dark brown sugar, pepper, orange zest, coriander, clove Finish: long and filled with clove, dark honey, and rye bread with a good, strong KY hug Overall a wonderful blend that is heavy enough in body and flavor to satisfy but drinks hot for 92 proof!

An intense limited-edition blend of 10- to 14-year-old straight Bourbon & Rye whiskeys. It has an aromatic birth of honeyed fruits & rye; while a rich life adds notes of caramel & toasted vanilla; that led to a long butterscotch lovers' death. February 2017

Nice vanilla baking spice on the nose. Honey sweetness on the palate. Little but of eucalyptus on the finish that lasts with no harshness at all. Very smooth and drinkable.

This is a decent whiskey- it's fairly smooth, although I would have guessed a slightly higher proof. I get notes of banana, honey, caramel and very strong clove.

Bar pour from a bottle marked 2016. Really enjoyable, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon, spice. One of the better High West whiskies I've tried.

Sweet and delicious! Graham cracker nose, palate has a fun amount of spice and caramel
