Overview

Voted the 2nd best American whiskey by the American Whiskey International Whisky Competition 

High West Bourbon is a premium blend of straight bourbons aged for a minimum of 2 years, handcrafted in Park City, Utah. This whiskey reflects the adventurous spirit of the American West, combining high-quality ingredients, traditional distillation methods, and a unique blending process. It’s made from a blend of straight bourbons with varying mash bills, creating a well-rounded flavour that’s both bold and smooth. 

Why It’s So Good 

High West Bourbon stands out for its exceptional blending and quality sourcing. By marrying straight bourbons of different ages and mash bills, High West achieves a perfect harmony of flavours, something that single-source bourbons can’t always replicate. Its high rye content gives it a spicy backbone, while well-aged corn and barley add sweetness and smoothness. Crafted at high elevation in the Rocky Mountains, the High West Bourbon benefits from unique aging conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon fan or just exploring, High West offers complexity, approachability, and character in every sip, making it a standout on any whiskey shelf.

What sets this bottle apart
  • A blend of straight bourbons aged up to 13 years
  • Built on a high rye MGP bourbon base for extra spice

  • The same blend that made American Prairie Bourbon a High West staple, just under a new name
  • Solid value for a bourbon carrying this much age in the blend
Distillery Information

High West Distillery in Park City, Utah made its name blending sourced and in-house whiskeys into something more interesting than any single barrel. High West Bourbon carries on that tradition, built from a blend of straight bourbons rather than one mash bill or source.

It was originally sold as American Prairie Bourbon before being rebranded to simply High West Bourbon. The company says the blend behind the label hasn't changed, just the name.
