Description
In 2007 Dave Perkins decided to build the worlds first ski-in distillery at his saloon in Park City, Utah. Whilst waiting for his own spirit to mature he has blended two exotic straight rye whiskies; a rich aromatic 16yo (80% rye, 10% corn & 10% malted barley) rye with the bold spicy properties of 6yo (95% rye & 5% malted barley) to create a full flavoured, very complex whiskey.
Marriage of two straight rye whiskies that combines the feisty properties of a high rye 2-year-old and the saddle smooth richness of a 16-year-old. The 2-year-old has a 95% rye 5% barley malt mashbill. The older rye has a "barely legal" rye mashbill of 53% rye and 37% corn. The extra age and corn provides some extra sweetness to calm the "bite" of the younger rye for a relationship that works.
90 Points Another Winner By High West
A blend of two straight whiskeys: a very young 2 year old high rye content whiskey and a 16 year old rye whiskey with a lower rye content. Perhaps the spiciest American whiskey I have ever tasted, yet at the same time, quite tame and mellow. Complex notes
of mint, clove, cinnamon, licorice root, pine nuts, and dark chocolate, with a surprising dose of gin botanicals throughout. A soft underbelly of caramel, sweet corn, and soothing vanilla provides an interesting counterpoint. Very easy-drinking, too (hard to
believe its 46%). Intriguing, and a must-try for rye whiskey aficionados even if onlyto satisfy your curiosity.

92 Points (Exceptional) Light amber colour. Exotic aromas of wintermint, sweet pickle, pistachio praline, anise, and pink peppercorns with a rich, chewy fruity-yet-dry full body and a gentle finish suggesting mint green tea and five spice. Fascinating. Beverage Testing Institute
97 Points
This is absolutely the finest rye (and perhaps the finest spirit) I have ever tasted.
