High West Double Rye!

Happy Wednesday. Today I had a great idea for a whiskey photo, unfortunately I don't have the right whiskey for to best fit the background idea.

Soooo... We're coming up with something I'm sure we're all feeling - the melancholy of Fall fast approaching. With the season shifting to oranges, reds and browns, I thought it appropriate to feature High West's Double Rye! as a spicy, warming, neat blend of 2-4 year 'young' ryes from MGP along with some 12-16 year 'old' ryes, iirc from **the same source. But this blend is a far cry from your basic sourced taste.

The nose is decidedly rye with cinnamon, herbs, and a bit of allspice. The palette shows rye up front but swiftly falls into buttery biscuits and honey; Then the finish, which lingers in and remains smooth, leaving with eucalyptus and a lasting menthol effect - all these come together to orchestrate a choir ever reminiscent of summer fading into the cool autumn breeze.

A special shoutout to Ylish on putting together the gorgeous autumnal floral arrangement in the background, and putting in a lot of effort to get our apartment "spooky!".

**EDIT**
Upon re-reading the product description (something I should have done BEFORE posting this review) it would appear that I was only half correct, the younger 2-4 year old rye is sourced, while the older is a mixed straight 80% Rye, 20% Malted Rye from High West themselves.... My bad on that one.
