Make Mine With Rye
Explore the world of rye whiskey with High West's Proprietor David Perkins and its Passionate Whiskey Missionary Troy Karnes. They will share what High West is doing with rye whiskey, earning "Pioneer of the Year" in this year's Malt Advocate Magazine's Whiskey Awards. You will experience rye production from the very beginning as we will start with rye grain and go through a virtual rye whiskey distillation. You will taste through the heads, heart, and tails of High West's newest Silver Whiskey: OMG Pure Rye. We will also feature a few different styles and "blends" of rye whiskey and top the seminar off with the East Coast premiere tasting of High West's "36th Vote Barrel Aged Manhattan". The fine gentlemen at Ward III will also serve some tasty snacks to accompany the whiskies as well as a fresh Manhattan to taste side by side with of High West's "36th Vote Barrel Aged Manhattan". The fun will also include a raffle for some High West Swag. Come explore the spicy world of Rye as Perkins and Karnes give a historic overview of rye.
