High West Whiskey

A biochemist walked away from the lab bench and built Utah's first legal distillery since Prohibition inside an old horse stable in the ski town of Park City. David Perkins had caught the distilling bug on a visit to Maker's Mark and couldn't shake it loose again. Ten years later, Whisky Advocate crowned him Distiller of the Year, an honor nobody expected from a state with no whiskey history to speak of.

    Expert description

    High West Rendezvous Blended Straight Rye Whiskey is a blend of two different straight rye whiskeys, a younger high-rye expression and an older, more classic mash bill, bottled at 46%. High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by former biochemist David Perkins and his wife Jane, who moved to Park City, Utah, in 2004 to start the distillery. When the distillery opened in 2007, it was the first legal distillery in the state since Prohibition ended in 1870 — Utah had gone over 130 years without a legal distillery. The distillery started in a historic livery stable with a small 250-gallon still and expanded in 2015 with a larger facility in Wanship outside Park City. High West is known for blending and finishing whiskey from multiple sources into unique, complex expressions.

About High West Whiskey

High West is the American whiskey house that made ski slopes and rickhouses next-door neighbors on the same mountainside. From a compact hybrid still in Park City, Utah, the house blends rye and bourbon from its own and sourced stock into complex, often unconventional releases like the celebrated Rendezvous Rye. For beginners, High West is an accessible, versatile gateway into American whiskey, while collectors rate the house among the most decorated independent producers in the US, cemented by Whisky Advocate's Distillery of the Year title in 2016.

History & Background

David Perkins worked as a biochemist until a visit to Maker's Mark Distillery in Kentucky sparked an interest in distilling he couldn't put down. In 2006 he founded High West in a historic horse stable in Park City, Utah, making it the state's first legal distillery since Prohibition. From there he built his reputation on daring blends of rye and bourbon drawn from multiple sources and ages, a style that broke with the single-source norm. In 2016, Whisky Advocate named High West Distillery of the Year, a recognition that firmly put the young distillery on America's whiskey map.

Production & Style

High West is known for blending whiskeys from different sources and ages to create complex, often unconventional profiles, including the popular Rendezvous Rye, which blends several rye whiskeys.

Signature Style

The flavor varies by release, but a spicy, complex character shaped by the distillery's blending philosophy runs throughout.
