The High West American Prairie Bourbon is a blend of straight bourbons sourced from undisclosed distilleries. A higher rye mash bill complements the notes of sweet, waxy vanilla, with a pleasant earthiness.
High West are a distillery based in Utah, a state famed for its sprawling natural landscapes. This bottling is named after one of the distillery's focusses in regards to wildlife conservation, the American Prairie Reserve, supported by the American Prairie Foundation
High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to a whiskey distillery in Kentucky. In 2004, David and his family relocated to Park City, Utah to begin their new venture, where they began distilling in 2007. They chose Park City because of David’s love of the Old West and Utah’s little-known whiskey history.
High West began with humble roots, opening a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in an historic livery stable and garage. What was once a small operation in downtown Park City has grown to be an internationally-recognized, award winning brand.
