This release was made using specially chosen barrels and batched to make a rich, flavorful [rye bourbon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokeye-hill-rye-whiskey) that perfectly complements the occasion. It has a rich copper to mahogany hue after 10 years in the barrel. The drink has a flavor similar to brandied cherries, medjool dates in thick syrup, candied nuts with cayenne pepper, and baklava with orange blossom honey. By incorporating candied yams, pecans, toasted marshmallows, black currant liqueur, delicious cornbread muffins with honey butter, and cinnamon toast with blackberry-maple syrup, the flavor of 10 Year Anniversary Edition is decadent and warming. “We are proud to honor our roots in this state with an exceptional 10-year-old whiskey created by the fusion of Wyoming water, Wyoming grains and Wyoming weather. We will always distill our whiskey the right way, not the easy way,” said Brad Mead, Co-Founder of Wyoming Whiskey.
