High West Cask Strength Sauvignon Blanc (50% abv)

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.

The new High West Cask Strength Sauvignon Blanc Finish is a blend of straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys aged 6–10 years, blended and specially selected from the mountains of Utah. Finished in Sauvignon Blanc casks for 10 months.

NOSE – Underripe peach, banana cream pie, vanilla, fresh hay and Spring florals, lilac, wet green grass
PALATE – Crisp green apple, grapefruit zest, cinnamon poached pears, raspberry thumbprint cookie, wet slate, toasted oak, new suede
FINISH – Gingerbread drizzled with honey

Enjoy neat, with a little water, or on the rocks. The boldness of this whiskey also makes it perfect for adding more complexity to classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
