Outryder leads with bold, fragrant aromas of warm cherry cobbler, beeswax, and pumpernickel slathered in melted butter. The palate brings forth silky layers of dark molasses, roasted cumin, hot chocolate, and honeyed hay, all wrapped in a creamy texture. A long and warming finish leaves echoes of maple syrup-drenched French toast, with hints of spice that linger like a Wyoming sunset.

Distiller's Background:

Founded as Wyoming’s first legal distillery, Wyoming Whiskey is deeply embedded in its namesake state. Run by the Mead family in the town of Kirby, population 76, the distillery is a testament to resilience and precision. Every element of the whiskey is sourced from within state lines, from the glacier-pure water to the carefully selected non-GMO grains grown by local farmers. Aging takes place under extreme seasonal temperature swings, allowing the whiskey to extract extraordinary complexity from the oak barrels. This is whiskey made of time, place, and purpose, shaped by the land and the legend.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy neat to appreciate its layered complexity, or with a single cube to slowly unravel its spicy-sweet character. It also performs beautifully in robust cocktails like a Revolver or an Old Fashioned. Ideal for fireside sipping, ranch-side reflection, or rewarding a long day’s ride.

The Wyoming Whiskey Outryder Straight American Whiskey is a proud, fearless frontier spirit, crafted with integrity, born of the wild, and made to be remembered.
