A heavy body rye that reminds me of Bulleit on steroids. Taste: Pretty alcohol intense that overwhelms the flavors a bit. Later I came back to the residue in the jigger, and the nose components were more integrated. Overall, a very complex nose (I believe that it has a little corn in one of the ryes.) Adding a little water does not seem to change the nose. Nose: Spicy with light mint, as expected, but also a piney overtone that is attractive. It was the last pour from a 375 mL bottle, 92 proof (purchased at The Party Source and opened two months ago) This is not the first Rendezvous Rye bottle I’ve had. REVIEW: High West Whiskey - Rendezvous Rye I would absolutely buy another bottle of this. Some people pull it off exceptionally well (Willett and High West come to mind) and they don't have to use any shady marketing because the quality alone can sell their products. The Rendezvous, however, blew me away the very first time I tried it. Overall Thoughts: I wasn't blown away when I bought the Double Rye, but it grew on me over time. The minty taste lingers on for a nice, pleasant finish. It's just so well balanced with the sweeter notes in the Rendezvous Rye that it almost sneaks right by. I am surprised at the lack of spice present here. The mouth on this is exceptionally oily, especially in comparison to the Double Rye which I found to be just a little too thin.įinish: Very little rye spice. The mix of the sweetness of the vanilla, honey, and caramel is muted enough that it adds rather than subtracts to the quality. I used to work in a theater and the vanilla taste reminds me a bit of the taste of the vanilla syrup we would mix with sodas. There is a vanilla flavor, but it tastes artificial. These flavors don't come through immediately, but they add for a nice subtlety that mixes with the stronger, spicier flavors. The bottle indicates notes of caramel and honey. There's very little rye spice at first, but subsequent visits to the glass reveal a nice spice that mixes well with the mint. This has a touch of the typical LDI Rye, but the dill is toned down.
