What’s in your glass? Tonight, I am cheating on wine with High West Yippee Ki-Yay whiskey! High West took their Double Rye, a blend of 2 to 16 years aged rye whiskeys and put it in barrels previously used to age vermouth and Syrah. Then they combined the two and the result is a pleasingly sweet and savory whiskey that drinks like a perfectly balanced cocktail. Flavors of cherry, baking spices, wood and herbs. Sip it neat or on ice. If you want a cocktail that will make you shout, “Yippee Ki-Yay”, try it in a Manhattan.
