This year's High West Distillery's release of Bourye is marvelous!
While the exact percentage of each whiskey remains undisclosed, the company says this bottling is very similar in the age and taste profile of the very first release. Bourye is bottled at 92 proof and available for $79.99.
The nose here is ripe with honey, baking spices, dark caramel, and hints of oak. Those aromas carry over to the palate. Rich, sweet and spicy are the themes here. Spiced honey and slightly burnt caramel kick things off. Those rye spice notes ramp up quickly, complementing the whiskey's richness. A slight undercurrent of candied orange peel and vanilla run throughout. Elegant oak develops into the long, dry finish.
