BUY HIGH WEST YIPPEE KI YAY BLENDED STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY ONLINE | Bevda's

One day, just for fun, we put some rye whiskey into barrels originally used to age wine. When we mixed the vermouth-ed (Vya, Madera, CA) and the syrah-ed (QupÃ, Santa Maria, CA) we discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly sweet whiskey for the rest of us.How to EnjoyShows best at room temp, neat. With a little time in the glass sitting idle (just a few minutes) the bouquet really opens up to its full potential.The NameWhere did Yippee Ki-Yay come from? Is it a real expression of joy popular with cowboys in the 19th century Western United States? Is it part of the greatest one liner in movie history? Was it influenced by the phrase Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay from the 1936 hit song Im an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grande about a 20th-century cowboy who has little in common with cowpunchers of old and sung by Bing Crosby in the film Rhythm on the Range (also sung later by Roy Rogers and Frank Sinatra) and considered one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time? Were not sure. But we are sure we like how we feel when we say it... and recommend you use it every chance you get.Back Label StoryWe confess...we didnt coin the term Yippee Ki-Yay. Moreover, we didnt paint the picture on the front label. Its an historic poster (Gift of The Coe Foundation and Henry B. Balink) now at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming (centerofthewest.org, you really ought to visit). Furthermore, we didnt distill the whiskeys in this bottle - its our Double Rye! However, we did come up with a combination that we think will make you say...Yippee Ki-Yay drinkers of horrible tasting cheap flavored uisge beatha!
