A Slice of History in Every Sip
Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Park City, Utah, High West Distillery is a tantalizing blend of Wild West charm and modern innovation. Established in 2006 by David Perkins, who caught the whiskey-making bug during a trip to Kentucky, this pioneering distillery is the first legal establishment in Utah since Prohibition. With its commitment to transparency, High West offers a diverse range of whiskeys that cater to everyone, from casual drinkers to seasoned connoisseurs.
The Must-Try Whiskey: High West Bourbon
If you’re looking to indulge, start with the High West Bourbon. Aged for at least two years in charred white American oak barrels, this blend boasts a high rye content that lends earthy complexity. It's untreated by chill filtration or carbon treatment, resulting in a product that perfectly balances richness and brightness. With delightful notes of honey nougat, sweet cornbread, and zesty lemon, each sip is an adventure.
Experience the Unique High Country Single Malt
For fans of single malts, the High Country American Single Malt is a revelation. Distilled on-the-grain and blended amid the stunning Wasatch Mountains, this whiskey features a robust mouthfeel enriched by roasted malt complexities. Whether you choose to sip it neat or with a splash of water, prepare for a delightful journey filled with rich toffee, creamy caramel, and a finish reminiscent of sweet maple pecan pie.
Visit the Iconic Gastro-Distillery

Be sure to grab a bite at The Saloon, renowned as the world’s first ski-in, ski-out gastro-distillery.
