High up in the snow-capped Wasatch mountains of Utah, the High West distillery is doing something truly special. Originally founded as a small, passionate saloon operation in Park City, it has quickly grown into one of the most respected and exciting names in modern American whiskey.
The secret to their incredible success lies in the historic, often overlooked art of blending. Rather than relying solely on their own freshly distilled spirit, they expertly marry carefully chosen, mature barrels of bourbon and rye whiskey to create magnificent, complex flavour profiles. It is a brilliant nod to the original pioneers and saloon keepers of the old West, who would frequently blend different casks to craft the perfect warming drink.
If you are looking to step away from traditional single malts and explore something different, High West offers a fantastic journey. Their bottles are brilliantly approachable, packed with rich vanilla, warming baking spices, and a bold, adventurous energy. They are equally exceptional poured simply over a large block of ice or used as the robust foundation for a classic cocktail.
