High West Cask Strength Bourbon

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bold, warming, and built for slow sipping, High West Cask Strength Bourbon brings a full-bodied feel that suits quiet evenings, fireside pours, or whiskey-forward cocktails. Bottled at 59.1% ABV, this cask strength American bourbon from the United States is released without dilution, preserving a richer texture and more concentrated barrel character.

Expect deep notes of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, baking spice, and dark fruit, with a sturdy finish that carries heat and sweetness in balance. With Barbecue Ribs, its proof and charred oak backbone stand up to smoky, saucy richness, while Dark Chocolate draws out its cocoa, spice, and molasses-like depth.

Producer Information: High West Distillery

High West Distillery is based in Park City, Utah, with additional production facilities in nearby Wanship. Founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane, it became Utah’s first legal distillery since the 19th century. The company grew from a small ski-town operation into a major American whiskey producer by combining traditional copper pot distillation, high-altitude maturation, and careful blending of sourced and house-made whiskeys.

Its portfolio spans rye whiskey, bourbon, blended American whiskey, and limited seasonal releases. High West is especially associated with labels such as Double Rye!, Rendezvous Rye, Bourbon, Campfire, Bourye, and A Midwinter Night’s Dram. The distillery also produces barrel-finished expressions and experimental batches that highlight mash bill selection, oak influence, spice character, smoke, and balance across different whiskey styles.
