Wyoming Whiskey | Outryder Batch #4 | Straight American Whiskey | 2020 Release Tasting Notes

Nose: Unique and complex aromas, including vanilla, cinnamon, leather, and fresh-cut wood. The high rye content also contributes notes of brown baking spices, mint, cedarwood, and botanical herbs. Reviewers also found specific scents like grape soda, peaches, and orange jellybeans.

Palate: A buttery mouthfeel with notes of German Christmas cookies, gingerbread, prunes, and scorched brown sugar. It has a pronounced rye spice, but less sweetness than a traditional bourbon. Other reviewers noted chocolate, mulled spices, cloves, butterscotch, and citrus.

Finish: Long and spicy, with lingering flavors of cinnamon, dried apricots, cherries, toasted wood, and buttery toffee. One reviewer found a "dusty" note and a strange aftertaste reminiscent of "dried beans".

Distillery Information

Nestled in the rugged Bighorn Basin of Kirby, Wyoming (population just over 90), Wyoming Whiskey is a truly independent, family-owned distillery that embodies the pioneering spirit of the American West. Founded in 2006 by the Mead family—fifth-generation cattle ranchers—the distillery set out to create authentic American whiskey using only local resources and traditional methods. Every drop of Wyoming Whiskey is made from non-GMO grains grown in the Big Horn Basin, pristine mountain water from a mile-deep aquifer, and carefully selected yeast strains. The extreme climate of Wyoming, with scorching summers and frigid winters, creates dramatic barrel interaction, accelerating maturation and imparting bold character to the whiskey. Master distillers and advisors with deep Kentucky bourbon heritage helped shape the early craft of Wyoming Whiskey, but the result is distinctly its own—a true taste of the West. From its flagship Small Batch Bourbon to experimental releases like the Outryder, the distillery balances tradition with innovation, ensuring each bottle reflects both quality and place. More than just a distillery, Wyoming Whiskey is a testament to frontier resilience and craftsmanship—an operation where authenticity is never compromised, and every bottle carries the story of Wyoming’s land, people, and independent spirit.
