Jan 10, 2018

Utah’s FIRST legal distillery since 1870
High West’s passion is crafting delicious and distinctive whiskeys and helping people appreciate whiskey all in the context of the American West. High West’s must-visit locations include the High West Distillery in Wanship, Utah, (pictured on front – top) a 30,000 square foot world-class distillery and visitor center featuring educational tours and High West’s unique country-western cuisine; and the High West Distillery & Saloon in historic Old Town Park City, the world’s only ski-in gastro distillery.
2016’s DISTILLER OF THE YEAR
High West was honored to receive Whisky Advocate’s prestigious Distiller of the Year award in 2016. The ultimate authority on whisky said, “High West delivers innovative and delicious whiskeys, expands the definition of what it is to be a distiller, and pioneered a successful new paradigm for craft distilling.”

The “official spirit partner” for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard team
U.S. Ski & Snowboard, an Olympic sports organization empowering some of the world’s most elite athletes, declared High West Distillery their new spirit sponsor in 2017. The partnership is opportunely timed for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes to carry the High West brand to the international stage of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea this February.

“We are proud to showcase High West Distillery as part of our growing family of partners,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard president and CEO Tiger Shaw. “This is an opportunity to bring awareness to the already internationally-known whiskey brand with whom we proudly share our Park City home.”

“It is an incredible honor to partner with U.S. Ski & Snowboard,” said High West Director of marketing Justin Lew. “We look forward to working together to elevate both organizations’ reputations in our respective sport and spirit communities.”

American Prairie Bourbon™:
A complex blend of straight bourbons producing an aromatic whiskey that helps preserve the West. High West will donate 10% of after-tax profits from each bottle to the American Prairie Foundation in Montana.

Double Rye!®:
The spiciest rye in the world

Our flagship whiskey. A blend of aged rye’s that creates a rich and full mouthfeel.
