  • ABOUT
    Just for fun, guys at High West Distillery put some rye whiskey into barrels originally used to age wine. When they mixed the ‘vermouth-ed’ (Vya, Madera, CA) and the ‘syrah-ed’ (Qupé Santa Maria, CA) they discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly sweet whiskey for the rest of us.
    • Proof: Bottled at 46 %ABV/92 Proof
    • Not chill filtered
    • Marriage of two straight rye whiskies
    • 95% rye, 5% barley malt mashbill (LDI now MGP)
    • The older rye has a "barely legal" rye mashbill of 53% rye and 37% corn (Barton Distillery)
    • Barrel type: Oak barrel that previously held Vermouth Barrel (Vya, Madera, CA), Oak barrel that previously held Qupé Syrah (Qupé Santa maria, CA)
  • TASTING NOTES
    • Color: An unusual beautiful ruby red (from the Syrah barrel finish)
    • Nose: Fresh cinnamon stick, crushed blackberries (cassis) with some herbs (thyme and sage) in the background.
    • Taste: A big, bold punch of cinnamon spice and blackberries on a foundation of vanilla and caramel, the long finish is dried orange rind and herbs.
  • FOOD PAIRING
    Yippee Ki-Yay is great as an aperitif on ice, neat with dessert, or on its own. Try it in a Manhattan. This stuff rocks.

Another top notch release from High West

Recently received the new release of High West Yippee Ki-Yay Rye and it this on every note what a true aged Rye should be. To me has more depth than the 92 proof it carries and with the barrel finish tones down the grassy notes to almost a BouRye type finish. A great sipper for any day and holds it's own against any Rye in my collection - a must add!
