Review #46; Rye #12: High West Rendezvous Rye

Background: This is a blended rye from High West, the blends being made of the following components:

6 Year MGP Rye

16 Year Barton Rye

Batch no: 16J28

ABV: 46%

Nose: Rye spice, apple, hint of honey, vanilla and oak

Palate: Medium mouth feel, rye spice, apple pie, burnt sugar and oak. Complex

Finish: Medium, Rye spice, oak, vanilla and apple that mixes well.

Well balanced between the Sweet and spice. Judging by the emptiness of the bottle I really enjoy this, I wish it was on the cheaper side but I can’t see myself not having this on hand at most times. A comfort drink for me.
