An American Single Malt Whiskey distilled and blended by High West in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah.
As admirers (and imbibers) of the famed single malt whiskies of Scotland, we wanted to create a uniquely crafted version of an American single malt.
To provide the robust, flavour-forward profile more typical of American whiskeys and of our High West style, High Country™ American Single Malt is distilled “on-the-grain.” This means that we leave the grain in during fermentation and distillation, instead of filtering it out.
In the tradition of American and Scottish whiskey making, we use both freshly charred and second-use oak barrels during the maturation stage. These techniques produce a whiskey that shows its distinctive and delicious American qualities with a heavier mouthfeel, roasted malt character, and balanced complexity.
The mash bill is made of 100% malt comprising of 3 different malt types: 85% base malt, 14% caramel 60 malt, 1% chocolate malt.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Cozy aromas of warm croissants, Bananas Foster, white grape jelly on toast points, mountain meadows
PALATE: Honeydew melon drizzled with raw honey, dulce de leche, praline, shortbread raisin cookies, tobacco
FINISH: Autumn strolls, vanilla cream, maple syrup
High Country™ American Single Malt is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water while appreciating a magnificent western vista.
