High West American Bourbon 750ml

High West Bourbon Whiskey is a rich and approachable blend of straight bourbon whiskeys crafted to balance classic American bourbon sweetness with earthy complexity and a touch of rye-driven spice. Bottled at 92 proof, this versatile bourbon offers enough character for sipping neat while remaining an excellent choice for classic whiskey cocktails.

High West creates this expression by blending multiple straight bourbons rather than relying on a single whiskey. The component whiskeys include different mash bills and ages, allowing the blending team to build layers of sweetness, grain character, spice, and oak into the finished bourbon. High West states that all of the straight bourbons in the blend are at least two years old.

The whiskey is matured in charred American white oak barrels and is neither chill-filtered nor carbon-treated. High West specifically avoids chill filtration in an effort to retain more of the flavor and character developed during maturation.

On the nose, High West Bourbon opens with light caramel and sweet vanilla. The palate is rich and earthy, developing distinctive notes of candy corn, honey nougat, and sweet cornbread biscuits. The finish brings back vanilla alongside caramel apple and pecan pie, creating a satisfying combination of sweetness, fruit, nuts, and oak.

At 46% ABV (92 proof), High West Bourbon has the structure to stand on its own while remaining highly cocktail-friendly. Enjoy it neat, over a large ice cube, or in bourbon classics such as an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Whiskey Sour. High West describes the whiskey as equally suited to sipping or mixing.

For bourbon drinkers looking for an American whiskey with approachable sweetness and additional complexity from blending, High West Bourbon offers a distinctive expression backed by one of Utah's best-known whiskey producers.
