High West Rendezvous Rye Whiskey (Utah) / 46% / 0.7l

High West Distillery was established in 2007 and is the first registered distillery in Utah since 1870.

Initially, it was only involved in bottling and distribution, but currently distillation takes place in two facilities, the original one located in Park City and the distillery built in 2015 in Wanship (also in Utah). Rendezvous Rye was the first proposal of High West Distillery; it is a blend of two rye whiskeys, the formula of the first, 6-year-old contains 95% rye, the second, 16-year-old 80% rye. In 2008, Rendezvous Rye won a double gold medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition. Since 2016, the rights to the High West brand have been held by Constellation Brands.
