High West Announces 2023 Release of High Country American Single Malt
High West Distillery has announced the 2023 release of High West High Country American Single Malt Whiskey.
This year’s release of High West High Country is a marriage of 100% copper pot-distilled whiskies produced from a mash bill of 85% base malt, 14% caramel 60 malt, and 1% chocolate malt and aged in freshly charred and second-use oak barrels for 3-10 years.
Bottled at 44% ABV, the 2023 release of High West High Country is described as having aromas of “warm croissants, Bananas Foster, white grape jelly on toast points, and mountain meadows.” The palate has notes of “Honeydew melon drizzled with raw honey, dulce de leche, praline, shortbread raisin cookies, and tobacco.” It concludes with “Autumn strolls, vanilla cream, and maple syrup” on the finish.
High West High Country is available now at High West’s Utah distillery and Saloon locations, and at retailers nationwide, for a suggested retail price of $79.99.
