High West Yippee Ki-Yay Batch 19-C27
High West Yippee Ki-Yay Batch 19-C27
Description
Batch 19-C27. High West Yippee Ki-Yay — the most adventurous expression in High West's portfolio, a blended straight rye whiskey finished in a combination of French vermouth casks and Syrah wine barrels, producing a profile that sits at the intersection of American rye and European wine cask influence.
Yippee Ki-Yay is High West's annual limited release that blends straight rye whiskeys of different ages and then finishes the blend in wine and vermouth casks. The vermouth cask influence introduces botanical herbal notes — wormwood, botanicals, and a dry fortified wine character — while the Syrah barrels add dark fruit, pepper, and tannin. The result is a rye whiskey unlike any standard American expression: recognizably rye-spiced but layered with wine and botanical complexity.
Batch 19-C27 is a specific production batch in the Yippee Ki-Yay series — each batch varying slightly based on the precise blend ratios and cask selection used for that release.
