To us though, it didn’t seem like we were drinking that old of a Rye. Well Bourye did score better than Son of Bourye, but then again it is aged longer and is almost twice the investment. I liked Son of Bourye if not better than at least the same as Bourye. Todd: Really enjoyed drinking Bourye even though it is not overly complex. Ron: A great Whiskey but I must say I enjoyed Son of Bourye a bit more, especially when you consider the monetary investment. Todd: Long finish with a surprisingly sweet and bitter ending. Ron: Medium-long to long with a warm slightly bitter finish.

I tasted the slight smokiness, cedar and cinnamon that I got on the nose. Todd: Agreed that it is smooth and with the leather, citrus and spice. I tasted the sherry and leather that I got on the nose along with the pepper spice that Todd got on the nose. Strange, also got an aroma like cotton candy. I got a pepper-type spice up front, this was followed by slight whiffs of smoke, cherries, cedar and just a touch of cinnamon. Todd: Well, about the only thing we have in common is the fact that the nose took a little effort. After a small cube melted, I got a hint of mint. Foremost, it had a clean sherry like scent, along with that I detected oak, leather, tobacco and almonds. Ron: Initially I did not get much on the nose but patience paid off and eventually I got many great aromas. We were somewhat rough on Son of Bourye, will the father get better treatment? We still come across a bottle in stores that sell high end spirits. It is a blend of 17 year old Rye Whiskey, 13 year old Rye Whiskey and and a 9 year old Bourbon.Īs stated above, Bourye is very hard to find, we understand this is because it is no longer in production but we couldn’t confirm that.

It is bottled at 92 proof and sells for around $90.00. So, as we previously stated, with Son of Bourye, you are essentially drinking a Rye.īourye comes in the same old fashioned tall glass bottle that is a signature of High West. Like the son, the parent is an aged blend of a Rye Whiskey and Bourbon, in both cases the Bourbon comes from Four Roses which is in itself a high Rye Bourbon. This week’s review is for the harder to find and much more expensive Bourye.

A few weeks ago we reviewed Son of Bourye from High West.
