In 2007, after navigating Utah’s complex licensing process, High West Distillery opened for business. Rendezvous Rye The Rendezvous Rye is created by marrying two beautiful “straight” rye whiskies—one old, and one young. Straight whiskey is the fullest ﬂavored whiskey made in North America. It’s the U.S. version of a single malt scotch except aged in brand NEW American oak barrels. Distilled at less than 160 proof, you get all the ﬂavor the distiller meant you to get. Double Rye The Double Rye is a blend of two Straight Rye Whiskies: a 2 year old and a 16 year old. The 2 year old has a mash bill with 95% rye and 5% barley malt and is fermented with High West’s proprietary yeast. Specific barrels of this whiskey are selected for their herbal, spicy, evergreen, juniper, eucalyptus notes. The 16 year old has a mash bill with 53% rye, 37% corn, 10% barley malt. This whiskey provides the spearmint, caramel, and vanilla sweetness to calm the younger whiskey. For more information, plus tasting & technical notes and accolades, please see: www.highwest.com
