High West Bourbon Whiskey

High West Bourbon is an inviting, well-balanced American bourbon blend that bridges approachability with subtle depth. It works well as both a solid cocktail foundation and a sipping whiskey due to its rich but clean profile.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by High West Distillery in Park City, Utah, this bourbon is crafted as a blend of straight bourbons aged at least two years in charred white American oak barrels. The mash bills include combinations such as 75% corn / 21% rye / 4% malted barley, and another component around 84% corn / 8% rye / 8% malted barley. The whiskey is never chill-filtered or carbon-treated, preserving character and texture. It’s bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof).

Tasting Profile

Nose: Light caramel and sweet vanilla greet the glass, with hints of warm cornbread and perhaps a touch of spice.
Palate: Rich on entry—sweet corn bread biscuits, honey nougat, and candy-corn sweetness combine with subtle rye spice and earthy undertones.
Finish: Smooth and pleasant—vanilla leads, followed by caramel apple and pecan-pie echoes. It finishes clean, making it easy to sip yet satisfying.
