There are so many shady, sourced, whiskeys out there it’s tough to keep track, but that’s also why I’m all about honest whiskeys like the Wyoming Whiskey Outryder 2021. They distill it, it’s labeled as “straight” and they give you most of the deets on the site. This is how whiskey should be.
I don’t know why people feel like they have to make up a bunch of BS, or hide what they’re doing, to sell whiskey. I imagine, like most things, it boils down to insecurities that run deep in our psyche. But that’s not an excuse and this is a whiskey that’s quite secure in what it is because the people behind are secure in what they’re creating.

Wyoming Whiskey Outryder 2021 Tasting Notes
EYE
Medium caramel
NOSE
Cereal sweetness, oak, spiced apples, caramel, graham crackers and a slight bit of vanilla.
What’s there is nice and fresh, but it’s super light. Much lighter than the previous Outryders I’ve had.
PALATE
Grainy sweetness, candy sweetness, oak, cinnamon, dried fruit and a subtle toffee and vanilla.
Woah, this is kind of weird. The spice starts light, but builds till it starts battling the sweetness yet remains balanced.
FINISH
Medium -> Grainy-candy sweetness, cinnamon and vanilla fade out oaky.
BALANCE, BODY and FEEL
Balanced, medium body and a warm soft feel.
Wyoming Whiskey Outryder 2021 – Overall Thoughts and Score
The oak truly shows up on the finish where it started under the sweetness but continued on long after the sweetness faded out. This is a more nuanced Outryder than previous versions, but it’s far from being spineless or weak.
It’s fascinating to think about how far WW has come. The first edition I reviewed from them was… awful. Just awful. Over releases, they got better and better to where, now, they put out whiskey that’s consistently good and varied. Building diversity while maintaining quality in releases like this Wyoming Whiskey Outryder 2021 isn’t easy, but they’re doing it quite well these days.
SCORE: 3.5/5 (tasty, worth checking out ~ B | 83-86)
