Wyoming Whiskey Outryder Straight American Whiskey
Wyoming Whiskey · Wyoming Whiskey
A bold, weather-forged American whiskey that refuses to smooth its edges. Outryder is one of the most distinctive bonded whiskeys made outside Kentucky — an honest, high-plains expression of what climate can imprint on grain and barrel.
Nose
Baked apple and toasted grain lead, followed by cinnamon stick, dried orange peel, and a whisper of high-plains sagebrush. Underneath sits soft caramel and buttered biscuit.
Palate
Full-bodied and grain-forward — rye spice arrives first with black pepper and clove, giving way to honeyed corn, brown butter, and a distinct nuttiness of toasted pecan. Leather and dry oak add structure mid-palate.
Finish
Long, warming, and unmistakably rye-driven, with lingering baking spices, charred oak, and a dry tobacco-leaf fade that echoes the arid Wyoming landscape.

Cocktail Suggestion
The Chinook — 2 oz Wyoming Whiskey Outryder, 0.5 oz Bénédictine, 0.25 oz honey syrup (2:1), 2 dashes orange bitters, 1 dash Angostura. Stir with ice for 20 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe, express an orange peel over the surface and drop in.
Food Pairing
Grilled bison ribeye with a black pepper crust, roasted root vegetables, and a smear of huckleberry compote.
Founded in 2009 in the tiny town of Kirby, Wyoming, the distillery draws its water from a limestone aquifer beneath the Bighorn Basin and sources every grain from farms within the state — where 60-degree diurnal swings and bone-dry winters push spirit deep into the wood of every barrel.
