I hope we get this one in Ohio. Their double rye is so good. Wish I could get a bottle of A Midnight Winter Dram.

[@OutsideTheStar]

A store in Downtown Madison WI had a barrel pick of this. Almost pulled the trigger but decided otherwise.

[@tbryant2002]

I really enjoyed this bottle. I found it to be very similar to old forester 1920. Much better than the yellowstone store pick that is 119 proof i compared it against. Cheers

[@IndianaSmoke]

Just picked up a bottle of this for 20 bucks at krogers and its a store pick. Cant wait to try it

[@BourbonJudge]

Wow hell of a deal

[@OldFashionedWays]

nice honest review. appreciate. So If I come across it as MSRP will pick up. thanks cheers

[@BourbonJudge]

Indeed

[@jamesstreet1144]

I haven’t tried any High West bourbon. I have the Double Rye and the Rendezvous Rye. Both are good. I might pick this one up if I see it, but not going out of my way to find it. Thanks Judge!

[@BourbonJudge]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@calebpitts6244]

I've got a couple of finished High West store-picks that actually rock. 1-year rum finished, and one that was 6-months in their pre-bottled Manhattan barrels. Gonna try to snipe this one somewhere!

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

Peated Double Rye will blow your mind and your tongue.

[@bendavis2967]

Thanks for the heads up on this one Judge.

[@BourbonJudge]

Anytime

[@davevogelsang6791]

Nice review Judge. Have not seen it in my area yet. 🥃

[@delece5730]

Did have this first at a bar. Enjoyed enough to order again at next visit. Damn expensive shot, $35.! Cant find it yet in store, will buy when I get it at my store. Appreciate your opinion, had similar nose/taste/finish experience. Thanks

[@zoolander221]

I grabbed a bottle a month or so ago, I haven’t cracked it yet, maybe tonight for the Phillies game, let’s go Phillies. Cheers Judge

[@BourbonJudge]

Indeed. Go phillies!!

[@Maximus091768]

Got 2 bottles. $60. For that price and proof, it’s a hit.

[@BourbonJudge]

Congrats

[@vbtom]

I'm glad more distillers on jumping on the cask strength band wagon

[@BourbonJudge]

True

[@N.M.T.K]

Just found your RUclips channel.
I like your approach on spirit presentation. 🥃
Sharing your honesty. History & Distillery knowledge.
I am going to buy this new High West.
I'll tell you what I think of it.
Added you for subscription. ✔️👏🏽🥃

[@BourbonJudge]

Thank you 🥃

[@treyawesome]

Fair verdict, Judge! This also sounds like it could be a good one to throw into a blind one night with a group. Cheers!

[@BourbonJudge]

Absolutely- great idea

[@MichaelBortner-qk4zl]

I got a bottle about two months ago and thought it was good but nothing to chase especially when midwinter is coming out and only 50-60 bucks more

[@100puremustard5]

LOL, Midwinter's was $150 last year 😂

[@vbtom]

Facts....straight from the internet....😱😱😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@BourbonJudge]

Lmao you got it

[@vikes7384]

Not a big High West fan. For $65 - 70 I can think of quite a few things I’d rather have. Nice review.

[@BourbonJudge]

I hear ya Stan🥃

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

I'm pleased that the BJ got his hands on a juice that High West fans have been clamoring for.
I look forward to ONLY UTAH MADE Wasatch mountain snowcap-fed CASK STRENGTH whiskies.

[@copperwolf875]

No insight whatsoever but could HighWest be looking to do an age stated first release of their own distillate? At the age already we shall see 😜

[@BourbonJudge]

Ohhh wow that might be it!!

[@preelenede]

Other than MSD I am not a fan of this house. I may try this down the road though…

[@lks311]

If you come across a Double Rye black label (store picks) you might want to give it a try.

[@blakenaylor1983]

Nice objective review

[@BourbonJudge]

Thanks! Blake

[@whiskeytiers]

Split decision = don't buy for me lol

[@BourbonJudge]

Lol

[@tonylema5334]

The only High West product I liked was MWND, this doesn’t look like something I’d hunt

[@BourbonJudge]

Its worth a pour at a bar though. You might love it..🤷🏽‍♂️

[@pizzawarlord9232]

I thought it was ok and not worth the price.

[@bourbonbill]

I think it’s average at best for the price it’s a do not buy for me just better stuff out there for the price it’s not bad but doesn’t stand out in any way

[@BourbonJudge]

Fair…
