High West Rendezvous Rye

Where Legends of the West Meet Irish Hearths.
High West Rendezvous Rye is the distillery’s flagship rye whiskey—a bold blend bridging generations of rye-loving craft. It marries a youthful, vibrant rye (roughly 6 years old) with a mature, complex counterpart (originally as old as 16 years, now typically a blend of 4–7 year components). With an exceptional mashbill (far beyond the legal minimum), it delivers rich, uncompromised flavour that carries the spirit of early American frontier gatherings straight into your glass.

Every sip conjures scenes of the 1820s rendezvous—yeast-era whiskey festivals among mountain men—blended with modern sensibility. In Ireland, where savouring stories is part of the culture, this whisky resonates deeply: the spice speaks of industry, the depth whispers of heritage. Its complex evolution from youthful vigor to aged elegance makes it ideal both as a contemplative pour and as the star of crafted cocktails at your next Irish gathering.

Why we love it:
We love Rendezvous Rye for its layers of spice, fruit, and oak—woven together in a rare harmony of arcs and ages. The interplay of old and new rye creates a whiskey that’s both vibrant and balanced. It’s perfect as a sipping dram beside an Irish peat fire or in a handcrafted cocktail that bridges tradition and discovery.
