High West American Prairie Bourbon is named after the impressive 5,000 square mile wildlife reserve in northeastern Montana, the largest in the lower 48 states. High West are also donating 10% of post tax profits from this whiskey to the project.
The whiskey itself is a small-batch blend of two straight Bourbons, a 6 year old from Seagrams (MGP) in Lawrenceberg, Indiana and a 10 year old from Four Roses in Kentucky with a higher rye content in the mashbill by comparison:
6 year old Bourbon: Mashbill of 75% Corn, 20% rye, 5% barley malt.
10 year old Bourbon: Mashbill of 60% Corn, 35% rye, and 5% barley malt.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Light caramel notes supported by mixed peels, sweet vanilla and cinnamon.
PALATE: Rich and earthy on the palate with well balanced flavors of sweet corn, toasty spices, vanilla, cherries and manuka honey.
FINISH: Peanut brittle, chocolate orange and hints of dried red berries.
Great in cocktails, but has the complexity to stand on its own.
