High West 14 Year Old Light Whiskey

This offering from High West is an unusual American whiskey in a number of ways. First, the mash bill is 100% corn, rather than being tempered with rye, wheat, or barley as is custom in most American whiskies. Second, during the distillation phase, the spirit is brought into the 80-95% ABV range, whereas most producers rarely break 80%. Lastly, the whiskey is aged in second-fill ex-bourbon casks, rather than new, charred American Oak. Master Distiller Brendan Coyle discovered 100 barrels of it at MGP, all of which were distilled between 1999-2001. Bottled at 46.2% ABV.
