Bottle completed
Appearance / Color
Melted Caramel
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Strong aromas of toffee, malt, fresh sawdust, and spiced honey

Finish
The finish is lightly dry with a lingering granola note.
A fateful tour of Makers Mark Distillery in 2009 inspired David Perkins and his wife Jane to start their own operation. David — a former biochemist — basically said, “Hey, I can do that!” and moved his family to Utah and set up shop. High West Distillery was born. Success has come hard and fast, and they now produce and market a range of products including their four core Whiskies, three current limited releases, two bottled cocktails, and two specialty spirits. It’s a blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies from across the United States aged from two to thirteen years. And when they get a batch that turns out exceptionally well, they set aside a single barrel.
