Rocky Mountain 21 Year Old

This whiskey throws a mean punch! - John Hansell, Malt Advocate Magazine

Because of its unusually high rye mashbill compared to other older rye whiskies, Rocky Mountain Rye 16 Year Old is the rye-est rye sipping whiskey you’ll ever taste. We’ve only got 173 barrels of it. So experience this very unusual rye whiskey now—before it’s all gone.

“This is one bold rye whiskey, which gets more powerful as it develops on the palate. It’s crisp, clean and very spicy (cool mint, hot cinnamon), with molasses, caramel, honey, golden raisin, kiwi, coconut shavings, and a dusting of cocoa… This whiskey throws a mean punch!”

“Beautifully copper-like in color; unblemished purity. Smells alluringly of English toffee and baked bread in the opening whiffs; time in the glass affords the bouquet the chance to expand into areas of dried fruit (prunes, black raisins) and mince meat. Entry is deep and bittersweet, with delightful traces of candied nuts and baking spice; midpalate is long, honeyed/sherried, caramel-like, buttery, and intensely woody/oaky/bacon-like. Ends up tasting of charred meats, bacon, sausages, and BBQ rub. Dynamic, bittersweet, sap-like, and deep in character.”
