Wyoming Whiskey recently announced this year’s annual and limited release offerings in time for the holiday season.
Coming to market is the Barrel Strength Bourbon, Outryder Straight American Whiskey, and the Single Barrel.
“Fall is certainly the best time of year to be a fan of Wyoming Whiskey,” said Wyoming Whiskey co-founder David DeFazio, in a prepared statement. “Our barrel selections have been made and our batching season is complete with the largest production run of Outryder ever offered. This season’s Outryder, identified by its black foil logo, is easily my favorite edition of all time.”
This is Wyoming Whiskey’s third national batch of Barrel Strength Bourbon, and has a suggested retail price of about $300. Barrel Strength was last released nationally in the fall of 2018. Only 50 bottles were available at that time.
This year’s edition of Barrel Strength comes with a new label, is from barrel #9735, and was selected by Wyoming Whiskey master blender, Nancy Fraley. It was aged five years, comes bottled at 122.4 proof and a total of 120 bottles are available now in select U.S. markets including Wyoming, California, Colorado, Georgia and New York.
The distiller’s notes show that its color is deep copper to mahogany, and on the nose it has notes of Demerara sugar, plum pudding, apricot jam, and dark chocolate-covered espresso beans.
The palate features notes of dark dried fruit with waves of cherry cobbler with a buttery cinnamon-biscuit crust. There’s a balance of rum raisin ice cream, prunes in syrup, chocolate-covered orange peels, nutty marzipan, croissants with honey butter, and a hint of smokey barrel char.
Wyoming Whiskey’s Outryder Straight American Whiskey will be the sixth expression of its line to come out, identified by this year’s black foil logo.
