High West Bourye — a rare hybrid blend of straight bourbon whiskey and straight rye whiskey from Utah's High West Distillery, aged a minimum of 10 years, combining both traditions into a single bottling that expresses the best qualities of each.Bourye occupies a category of its own: not quite bourbon, not quite rye, but a thoughtfully constructed blend of whiskies aged a minimum of ten years that lets both styles amplify each other. The bourbon component brings sweetness, stone fruit richness, and corn-driven warmth; the rye adds grain spice, pepper, and a drying finish that cuts through the bourbon's sweetness and adds structure. High West blends them in proportions designed to produce a whiskey that shifts personality across a single pour — opening with fruit and sweetness and closing with rye spice.Bourye is produced in limited quantities — a collector's bottle that also happens to be one of the most food-friendly American whiskeys available.Tasting Notes Nose: Honeycrisp apples, caramelized peaches, homemade waffles with honey butter, bergamot, toasted almonds, sandalwood, dark chocolate truffles Palate: Maple glazed doughnut, salted crème brûlée, candied orange peel, chicory, English breakfast tea, ginger chews, seasoned oak Finish: Fresh yellow nectarines with a softly building rye spice Specs Distillery: High West Distillery, Park City, Utah Style: Blend of Straight Bourbon + Straight Rye Whiskey Age: Minimum 10 years ABV: 46% (92 Proof) Size: 750ml Browse all American whiskey at Wooden Cork.Frequently Asked Questions What does High West Bourye taste like?
