I have a lot of the same feelings/tastes in whiskey as ya’ll, love when you drop an uncorking of something I haven’t had. Great stuff.....and reference, I use a couple times a week DTMTBD!
Edit on your batch number: High West is ##-Letter-##. First two numbers is year (18 = 2018), letter A through L corresponding to dump month (A = Jan, B = Feb, etc.), and last two numbers are day of the month dumped. So your bottle is 18J25 - meaning the batch was from October 25th 2018. This batch is: 14yr and 13yr MGP Straight Rye (95% Rye & 5% Malted Rye) + 12yr, 11yr, and 11yr Straight Bourbon (75/21/4%, 75/21/4%, 60/36/4% - Corn/Rye/Barley). Love the video as always! -Matt
Love seeing the High West reviews. They have been one of my favorite rye producers since they started. Try some of their finished Double Rye store picks! Also they are a must visit if you go to the SLC area, beautiful distillery in the mountains.
I picked up 3 for MSRP after looking for it for a while. Especially after they announced that this is going to be a distillery only release going forward. Love everything that High West comes out with, btw glad to have found your channel.
This was an awesome review. We gave you guys a shout out and a link to this video on our latest video Whiskey Advent Calendar Day 6. Keep up the great work!
Lmao...@7:36 I was certain Sara was going to bust ballz for the thimble of whiskey in her glass. Nailed it with the comments on the Bouryn vs MSND comparison. $80-$90 is better spent on this Bouryn vs $100-$110 for MSND
Sara and Chad another great video. Do you guys know anything about all the products that High West is supposed to stop shipping out to stores and only have available at the distillery for purchase. I know they killed my favorite off Yippie Ki-Yay this past Summer, but I hear that there is more to come.
They sell a lot of their expressions in 200 or 375ml, I see them a lot at Total Wine if you have one near you. Great way to dip a toe. American Prairie is a low cost option to start with, but its low proof is a bit of a let down.
The double rye is good and a cheaper option. I like the rendevous rye also, along with campire which is more smokey. The American Prairie was a huge dissapointment for me and my wife.
Speaking of blending whiskey, not to get off the brand at hand and would go with a steak. Mix Turkey 101 and Woodford reserve. Half and half.Real easy to drink
First it starts with an animal, then it turns into a person... a baby. She’s gonna want a baby. I have 5.. that’ll be a mother channel for you guys down the road. I will say my 5 kids 12 and under have all seen don’t tell mom the babysitter is dead! *mother another
Wait. Why are you saying “BOO RYE”. That really triggered me lol. Shouldn’t it be “BURRR RYE”. As in “BURRR BON” and rye? Am I tripping here? Please correct that punctuation lol I cringed so hard
Great episode. We’re happy you enjoyed the bottle. All the best from Natalie and me....
So not only is Chad an MWND Grinch, but he's also Anakin. Also, Don't Tell Mom is an amazing movie. I'm right on top of that, Rose.
Totally agree with your comments… This stuff is really good, I have 3 bottles and will be looking for more. Great episode

My local ABC had this sitting on the shelf for a few weeks at $69.99 last Fall. Glad I bought two bottles. It's delicious.

Thanks for the info, Matt!
You earned this thumbs up with that "Don't Tell Mom the Baby Sitter's Dead" reference.
Congrats.

I like the play on dry jan. With rye month

Great show, guys, enjoyed it

OMGosh... You guys are soooo charming. Nice review!
How would you say this compares to Lost Monarch.?
Their American Prairie is very good. I got that one for 25 a couple of years ago but now over 35.
Have you guys tried horse soldier?? I was pleasantly surprised! Cool story to go with it.
Anakin: "I hate sand"
Chad: *me too*
It gets everywhere!
My favorite quote from Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead.
One from them I have yet to try and Really want to. Just can't afford it these days.
I hear ya! Finally found it here in 🇨🇦 with a price tag of $140 CAD + taxes! 😭
Chad, you are a lucky man!
Wonder how this compares to Double Rye and Rendevous Rye in a blind ? With MWND in there too.
Lmao...@7:36 I was certain Sara was going to bust ballz for the thimble of whiskey in her glass.

@Baaa me too! I was laughing so hard and then she mentioned a reflection and I was like, what? Lol
They brpught back Online Lottery in VA. Its a beta run. But Bourye is one of them. I find put if I win in a week.
High West makes amazing things. Everything they make is sold in Walgreens here in NM
ABQ!
Whiskey cheers
I use the "dishes are done man" quote all of the time, and my wife never gets the reference! It drives me crazy every time...

We haven’t really heard yet, hoping they keep things like this one around!
@@ItsBourbonNight I do as well thanks.
Star Wars reference!! Chad we’re brothers from another Padme!
That trilogy was turrible.
I just came across this channel recently searching for whiskey reviews. I swear you could be Paul Jr’s twin from Paul Jr designs or American choppers.
I’ve heard that before a few times actually. Don’t really agree with it, but I’ve heard it! Haha
I like the term - Bourye
Congrats on 70k. Never had any High West. Where would you recommend I dip a toe in before I commit to an $80-$90 bottle?
They sell a lot of their expressions in 200 or 375ml, I see them a lot at Total Wine if you have one near you. Great way to dip a toe. American Prairie is a low cost option to start with, but its low proof is a bit of a let down.
Go for the “Double Rye!” It’s my favorite daily.
We’ve not jumped into the High west products yet either!
The double rye is a good dip

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead
Nailed it.
This dork Chad does the anikan sand bit. Lol 😆 but I'm a dork too cause I got it.
I was just researching this whisky.... uncanny
I was just drinking this whiskey...uncanny
So it looks like this isnt going to be a national release anymore (Utah only for 2021). 😢 Already seeing the prices creep up online.
Booo! (Rye)
Speaking of blending whiskey, not to get off the brand at hand and would go with a steak. Mix Turkey 101 and Woodford reserve. Half and half.Real easy to drink
We’ll have to try it!
Movie reference
Don’t tell mom the babysitters dead
I've got a bottle of this sitting in the cabinet. Guess It's time to break it out. I only paid $62.
Lucky bastard, im in dc and they go for 150 here
You mentioned tobacco, I bought a bottle of Blade & Bow and all I tasted was tobacco! Did not like that taste at all!
I have had that and am not a fan...to each his own. Tastes like an old barn to me.
First
Is it “burr-rye” or “boo-rye”? 🧐
No one says Boorbon. Keep the enunciation the same as Bour, call it a Bour-Rye. Why no one coined it the much cooler sounding "RyeBour" is beyond me.
First it starts with an animal, then it turns into a person... a baby. She’s gonna want a baby. I have 5.. that’ll be a mother channel for you guys down the road. I will say my 5 kids 12 and under have all seen don’t tell mom the babysitter is dead! *mother another
Sourced MGP should we look at any less or more when it comes from its own Distillery and bottled confused
