Whiskey Review: Wyoming Whiskey Outryder Straight American Whiskey

This whiskey hits the palate hot, not uncommon for 100 proof water-free, but soon makes room for some interesting flavors. A rich graininess emerges first, dotted pleasantly with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, bringing forth the sensation of biting in to a mild spice cake. The heat mingles with a fun floral note from the rye, creating an exceptional perfume that layers throughout the malty, rich body and adds complexity. As my palate acclimates to this drink, a rich aroma of leather arises and further sips see hints of cocoa and peanut skins with a dry, burnt molasses backbone. Final Thoughts & Score: Adequate aging, thoughtful preparation, and an inventive grain bill all contribute here to a quite successful dram, one which continues to blossom from the bottle to the glass, and provides thoughtful intricacies for the whiskey aficionado to ponder over the course of an ounce or two. The true success here is how it maintains some of the more dessert-ish rye and bourbon flavors, as well as the viscocity, of traditional Kentucky-bred beverages while axing the oft-cloying sweetness. If Wyoming Whiskey continues to put as much love into further projects, they will certainly be a distillery to watch.
