High West Rendezvous Rye 750ml
Whiskey
| Description: | Manufacturer's Notes: Our inaugural whiskey commemorates the first recorded whiskey-fest out West. From 1825 to 1840, the "rendezvous" was the annual summer gathering of mountain men to exchange pelts for supplies. Alcohol was not one of the "supplies" at the first rendezvous. This oversight was Quickly corrected with a generous supply of whiskey at the second rendezvous in Utah's Cache Valley (and all subsequent rendezvous!). In this tradition of importing whiskey from back East (while we age our own whiskey), we craft Rendezvous from exotic straight rye whiskies with high rye mashbills. A higher proportion of unmalted rye gives Rendezvous a unique flavor profile with notes of spicy cinnamon, caramel, honey, mint, and vanilla. Rendezvous is not chill filtered, a cosmetic step almost all large companies use to remove the natural oils that cause a haze when whiskey gets cold. This also removes flavor, texture, and the lingering finish we really enjoy. If you see a harmless "haze" in Rendezvous, just swirl the bottle and it will go away. High West is Utah's first distillery since 1870 and the world's only ski-in gastro-distillery. If you find yourself in Old Town Park City, please stop (or ski) by to visit us. We'd love to share our passions with you: the American West, our contemporary western victuals, American roots music, and of course, pairing all the above with our greatest passion -- superb whiskey. Better yet, you ought to come out to our new facility in Wanship, Utah. It's a celebration of cowboys and the American West. |
