High West Bourbon Whiskey

Ride the trail of flavor through the Wild West with High West Bourbon.

In 2001 a biochemist named David Perkins got struck with a Spirit-infused epiphany while visiting the Kentucky distillery. Inspired by the parallels between his work and the art of Whiskey-making, he and his wife Jane set out to find the perfect location for their own distillery. They found their gold in Utah, where David's love for the Old West and the state's little-known Whiskey history collided. In 2006, they opened High West Distillery, the first legal operation since Prohibition. Starting with just a 250-gallon still and Saloon in a historic livery stable and garage, High West grew and prospered until they needed a bigger home. And wouldn't you know it, fate (in the form of a Blue Sky Ranch owner Mike Phillips) intervened and offered up a 3,000-acre cattle ranch for their new distillery. And so, from humble beginnings to an internationally-renowned brand, High West's success is a testament to the power of passion, research, and a little bit of serendipity.

If you want to taste the most trailblazing and inviting Bourbon of the West, High West Bourbon is your man, er, Spirit. It's a wedding of straight Bourbon Whiskeys, without interruptions from chill-filtering and carbon-treating. Aged for at least two years in charred white American oak barrels and crafted from a variety of high rye mash bills, this Bourbon bursts with earthy complexity and just the right amount of spice. Rich, bright, and sweet with notes of honey nougat, sweet cornbread biscuits, and zesty lemon, all culminating in a finish that's as satisfying as a bite of caramel apples and pecan pie.
