Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
The High West Barrel-Finished Old Fashioned is High West's version of one of the best whiskey cocktails in history. Few cocktails showcase a well made whiskey better than the Old Fashioned. Simple, elegant and spirit-forward, it's a whiskey lovers cocktail. High West drives complexity in this Old Fashioned by using both bourbon and rye whiskeys, which lends earthy-sweet corn notes and dry rye spice, pulled together with unrefined raw sugar, bitters and a touch of orange extract. They then rest the cocktail in second-use rye whiskey barrels to marry the flavors and round out its character, ultimately lending an enhanced fullness to the drink. So as you raise your glass high to the mountain sunset, rest assured they've taken every step to craft a cocktail for discerning whiskey lovers.

What Whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Coming in a multitude of styles depending on its origin, Whisk(e)y’s flavors range across the board from the sweet, caramel and vanilla-dominated American Bourbons to the briny, peat-heavy Islay Single Malts from Scotland. Though production methods differ widely, all Whiskeys are made by distilling beer made from some type of grain, such as barley, corn, wheat or rye. After the distillation process is complete, the new, clear spirit is transferred to wooden casks where it matures, a process that can take up to thirty years or more.
