High West Whiskey Rendevous Rye 46% ABV (700ml)

Rendezvous Rye is High West's flagship whiskey. Almost every other straight rye whiskey you can buy today is barely legal, with 51-53% rye in the mash bill. Not Rendezvous Rye. It honors the way rye whiskey used to be made, with a high rye content and full, uncompromising flavor.
