Each bottle in its own right
High West Double Rye!
Mint, dill and pepper. Two ryes of different ages married, and it tastes like it.
High West discloses two distinct mash bills — a sourced 95% rye / 5% malted barley and its own 80% rye / 20% malted rye — but gives no component ages, so the 'two ryes of different ages' claim is never quantified.
