Wyoming Outryder American Whiskey

This item is archived.

This curious American Whiskey from Wyoming is a blend to mash bills:

1. 48% winter rye, 40% corn, and 12% malted barley
2. 68% corn, 20% winter rye, and 12% malted barley

Even more curious is that it is Bottled in Bond. This means:

• All whiskey in the bottle must be produced by one distillery and by one distiller over the course of one distillation season.
• The whiskey must be aged in bonded warehouses under United States federal supervision. 
• The whiskey must be at least four years old. - It must be bottled at 100 proof / 50% ABV.
• The label on the bottle has to state which distillery it comes from and also where it was bottled.

Evan's Tasting Note

Nose: Corn, menthol, mint candies, new leather, hay bales and grass with hints of damp earth, cinnamon, Mackintosh's Toffee, Lucky Elephant Pink Candy Popcorn, orange marmalade, grilled lemons and spicy rye.

Palate: Spicy and sweet with kettle corn, sweet chili sauce, a touch of black liquorice, strawberry jam, sour peach candies, light peppermint and a touch of citrus tang, oak and rye spices.

Finish: Spicy and minty rye meets smooth and sweet corn.

Comment: Adding a rye component the typically sweet and juicy Wyoming Distillery style lends earthy nuance plus a mint and menthol edge. This is a fun and out of the ordinary Bonded Whiskey.

From the Producer:

"It’s crafted from two distinct mash bills distilled in November of 2011.  The first mash bill contains 48% winter rye, 40% corn, and 12% malted barley and the second reflects a traditional bourbon mash bill of 68% corn, 20% winter rye, and 12% malted barley.  In keeping with Wyoming Whiskey’s tradition, these grains are all non-GMO and grown in Byron, Wyoming by Rageth Farms."
