Long Description
High West Bourye is one of the most iconic limited releases from High West Distillery, named for its unique combination of bourbon and rye (“Bour” + “Rye”). Created as a tribute to the mythical jackalope, Bourye expertly blends mature straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys, all aged for a minimum of 10 years, to create a whiskey that showcases the best characteristics of both styles. The result is a remarkably balanced sipping whiskey that combines bourbon’s rich sweetness with rye’s vibrant spice and complexity.

Bottled non-chill filtered at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 750ml bottle, Bourye features a carefully crafted blend of sourced American whiskeys, with the exact proportions remaining a closely guarded secret. Recent releases have included mature bourbon and rye components from multiple distilleries, delivering exceptional depth and consistency while maintaining High West’s signature blending style.

On the nose, expect inviting aromas of English toffee, spiced orange crème anglaise, roasted walnuts, sweet basil, and rooibos tea. The palate unfolds with rich flavors of honey nougat, caramel, dark ginger cake, dried cherries, baking spices, and dark chocolate, complemented by the lively spice of aged rye whiskey. The finish is long, smooth, and warming, leaving lingering notes of roasted pecans, molasses, leather, espresso, and oak spice. This elegant balance makes Bourye an excellent choice for sipping neat or with a splash of water.

Produced in limited quantities, High West Bourye has become one of the distillery’s most collectible annual releases. Its combination of mature whiskey stocks, expert blending, and distinctive flavor profile has earned widespread acclaim among bourbon and rye enthusiasts alike, making it a standout bottle for collectors and anyone seeking a refined American whiskey experience.
