High West Announces 2026 Release of Bourye
High West has announced the 2026 release of Bourye, its annual, limited release blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskeys.
This year’s release of Bourye marries two straight bourbon whiskey mash bills with two straight rye whiskey mash bills:
- 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley malt from MGP
- 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley from MGP
- 95% rye, 5% barley malt from MGP
- 80% rye, 20% malted rye from High West Distilling
All components have been aged for a minimum of 10 years (10-19 years old) before being blended and bottled without chill filtration at 50.5% ABV (101 proof).
The 2026 release of High West Bourye is described as having aromas of “candied lemon, apricot jam on shortbread, caramel macaron, pfeffernüsse spice cookies, toasted cinnamon stick, dried ginger, and springtime meadow in the Alps.” The palate has notes of “grilled peaches, orange blossom, chocolate-covered haystack, soft molasses biscuit, brown sugar bacon, black licorice, sarsaparilla, lavender, warm brown leather, and rustic log cabin.” It finishes with “sticky toffee pudding with ginger tea.”
High West Bourye is available in limited quantities nationwide for a suggested retail price of $124.99.
