About this product
A Toast to the Whisky Wild West.
High West Bourbon is a celebration of western spirit and thoughtful blending. Crafted by High West Distillery—the first legal Utah distillery since Prohibition—it embraces the rugged beauty of the American West with refined expression. A small-batch blend of straight bourbons aged between 2 and 13 years, High West Bourbon brings layered depth through contrasting mash bills and maturity. Each sip evokes honey nougat, candy corn sweetness, and corn bread warmth, rounded by a gentle rye spice that whispers rather than shouts. Its golden glow recalls sunlit western plains and feels right at home in Ireland, where appreciation for storytelling and craft runs deep.
What sets High West apart is not just its taste, but its roots. Founded in 2006 in Park City, Utah, in a old livery stable turned distillery-saloon, it melds cowboy grit with creative innovation—think ski slopes, wildland rescue, and whiskey all under one roof. As you pour, imagine the mountain air and the rugged terrain that inspired this blend. Whether enjoyed neat by a peat fire or stirred into cocktails at a Dublin gathering, it’s a whiskey that tells a tale, bridging the western frontier and Irish warmth in every bottle.
Why we love it:
We love High West Bourbon for its warm, multi-layered character and distinctive Western origins. The mix of ages and mash bills creates complexity and depth that’s unusually approachable. It’s the kind of bourbon that invites conversation—perfect for sharing tales by the hearth, whether in Park City or across Irish countryside pubs.
