High West High Country American Single Malt Launches Nationwide
High West High Country American Single Malt, launched in December 2019 as a distillery exclusive, is now available nationwide!
High West High Country is a blend of single malt whiskeys aged for a minimum of two years in freshly charred and second-use oak barrels, bottled at 44% ABV (88 proof) without chill filtration, coloring, or flavoring. Unlike many of High West’s whiskeys, which are blends of sourced spirit, High Country is distilled entirely in-house in the Wasatch mountains of Utah.
The latest batch of High West High Country is described as having aromas of “baked apple, honey drizzled over fresh fig, lavender graham cracker, overnight oat groats with peaches and cream, dried white daisies, cinnamon stick, and tobacco in a private study.” On the palate, there are notes of “banana bread with vanilla glaze, warm granola with dried fruit, and frangipane with crushed golden raspberries served on a cedar plank,” finishing with “raw honey, toasted almond, marzipan, and baking spice.”
High West High Country American Single Malt is rolling out to stores now and carries a suggested retail price of $79.99
