High West Old Fashioned Barrel Finish Cocktail

This is a classic old fashioned with High West’s straight rye & straight bourbon. It’s delicious. I’m usually not a cocktail guy, but I was curious to check out the bottle since the price point was reasonable. It totally blew my expectations out of the water. With a lemon and orange twist garnish this old fashioned tasted better than any other old fashioned I’ve ever had. High West products are always impressive. I am going to let my friends mooch from this coming weekend and will update this with their feedback too. Correction: they used Used Rye Barrels

Great rye, awful cocktail. This is _super_ sweet. Next time, I will mix this 50/50 with a High West rye.

Overly sweet on forefront with strong bite of heat from the MGP sourced rye. Honey, orange, lemon.

Good Old Fashioned Example

Sweet but 86 proof!
