It’s cold, it’s damp…and frankly, it feels like spring and summer are taking their sweet ol’ time to get here. Before you get all mopey on us, look on the Rye side: High West Distillery has a dram that’s dedicated to just that very thing. This Rye blend is a limited edition that’s been finished in French Oak and port barrels and was made for a chilly, winter-y night. No need to rush spring.
