Laws Whiskey House San Luis Valley Rye Barrel 425X
156 proof 5–8 years Rye Laws Whiskey House Denver, CO

Rye toast and rounded sweetness with light candy spice. Approachable despite the extreme proof; no harsh alcohol burn.

Opens with a gentle, buttery wash before shifting dramatically into dark chocolate, clove, and toasted marshmallow. Burnt orange and a faint medicinal smokiness emerge. Intense warming sensation.

Long, intensely warming, and complex. Dark chocolate, spice, and medicinal smoke linger substantially.

Really good
A singular high-proof rye with surprising balance, complex dark flavor development, and a warming finish that justifies its extreme proof.
