Wyoming Whiskey Outryder review

Tasting Notes

About:

100 proof (50% ABV), aged at least 5 years, 750 ml bottle MSRP $73.
Appearance:
Burnished copper.
Nose:
On the nose are woody notes of black pepper, vanilla bean, stone fruit, and toasted cereal.
Palate:
The palate offers spicy butterscotch, vanilla pudding, baked orchard fruit, with subtle green bell pepper notes, and the slightest hint of toasted marshmallow with a touch of finely-ground black pepper.
Finish:
Comments:
Quite simply, this is a good straight whiskey. It has an initially smooth texture that gently evolves into a slightly chewy mouthfeel followed by a long spicy finish. While it doesn’t have a highly complex flavor profile, it’s a great example of ‘less is more,’ especially since the flavors captured within are very well-balanced. Despite the high proof, this expression easily offers an approachable and satisfying American straight whiskey drinking experience.
