This marks the inaugural bottled in bond whiskey release from Utah's High West Distillery, with subsequent limited annual releases anticipated. The straight rye whiskey was produced in a single season (July-December 2018) at High West's Distillery in Wanship, Utah, using a mash bill of 80% rye and 20% malted rye. It matured for a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse and was bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof). Nationwide availability begins February 2024. Note: The batch number format, such as 23L19 H218, indicates the bottling date (e.g., December 19, 2023) and distillation period (e.g., second half of 2018). (SRP $79.99)

The aroma offers wintergreen, sweet red berries, and oak. The taste, though, is a whole other story. Mint persists, but the palate takes on a darker character with dark fruit, pepper, and significant spice. It finishes with dry oak. I'm not entirely convinced it justifies the cost, but it does possess some appealing flavors.
Right at the start. This was enjoyable.
