First Tubesday: Mile High Spirits

As a whiskey enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by the process of crafting a fine spirit. Sometimes, distilleries face challenges in balancing flavors to achieve that perfect blend. In this review, we'll take a closer look at Mile High Spirits' latest release, 'Tubesday,' and see if their 6-year-old Rye Whiskey meets our expectations.

Mile High Spirits has built a reputation for producing high-quality whiskey, including their popular Rye Whiskey. Their pot still operation is straightforward, using three different types of rye grain, including one malted variant. This unique approach sets them apart from other distilleries, and the results are worth exploring.

One of the key characteristics of Mile High's whiskey is its balance between tannins and mellow flavors. As the spirit matures in 53-gallon Char #3 barrels sourced from Kelvin Cooperage, it develops a smooth profile that's perfect for sipping or mixing. The warehouse, located in downtown Denver, Colorado, provides an ideal environment for aging, allowing the whiskey to develop its full potential.

The 'Tubesday' release is particularly noteworthy, as it marks Mile High's first 6-year-old Rye Whiskey. This milestone is a testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and patience, as they allow their barrels to mature at their own pace. The result is a whiskey that's full-bodied yet refined, with complex flavors that unfold with each sip.

In today's fast-paced world of craft distilling, it's refreshing to see Mile High Spirits taking a more thoughtful approach to aging their whiskey. Rather than rushing to release new products quickly, they're investing time and resources into creating high-quality spirits that will stand the test of time.

For fans of Rye Whiskey, 'Tubesday' is definitely worth trying. With its balanced flavor profile and smooth finish, it's a perfect example of what Mile High Spirits can achieve with patience and dedication. Whether you're sipping it neat or using it in your favorite cocktail recipe, this whiskey is sure to impress.

In the end, 'First Tubesday: Mile High Spirits' is a testament to the power of quality over quantity. By taking the time to develop their spirits at their own pace, Mile High Spirits has created a truly exceptional whiskey that's worth savoring. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass, and experience the best of what Colorado craft distilling has to offer.
