Not sure where High West is a the moment in distilling on property in Utah. When they started - and this is the case with a lot of new distilleries - they bought barrels from other distillers (e.g., rye from an outfit in Indiana) and then mixed and bottled it back in Utah for sale.TommySQC said:
Great stuff both the Boss Hogg and the Rye. You can get it on base at great prices. Axe @koopdog.DeepSeaZ said:
Isn't high west an American Whiskey? Eagle rare is very nice for the price. Whistle pig is great but expensive.section8 said:Elijah Craig Barrel Strength, Eagle Rare, whistle pig, Blood Oath, Campfire from High West, Colonel Taylors.
I also like Weller (poor man's Pappy) and Blanton's can be top shelf at most places.
Pappy still is the standard though depending on the year. You can find some around for ~$65 a shot if you enjoy it.
Funny you mention High West. I believe that's made in Utah and they have a damn good blend called Campfire. It's a bit peaty so if you don't like scotch, don't give it a go.
With scotch, I favor Oban and Laphroaig but only drink scotch with a good cigar. -
Just got sold for 160 mil.
I think they've been around long enough they have some of their own. But obviously with experimental blends they would source part of it.

On the local front I had some of the Woodinville Whiskey Straight Bourbon and if they call is straight it has to be, at least, 4 years old (their other products have been aged for a lot less time...like just couple years). I've always felt their whiskey tasted to young and "hot" but this 4 year old stuff is getting better. They're not there yet, but once they have some 7-8 year old product to sell it ought to be pretty good.

Man, Park City is not the sleepy little ski town that I grew up in. -
Most anything from Dry Fly in Spokane is very good.

Agreed. It's still straight fire lacking in any real taste. Their syrup is better. But I'm told aging it in their tiny barrels for 6 months is a game changer.YellowSnow said:On the local front I had some of the Woodinville Whiskey Straight Bourbon and if they call is straight it has to be, at least, 4 years old (their other products have been aged for a lot less time...like just couple years).
