High West Releases 2025 Prisoner’s Share

High West’s 2025 Prisoner’s Share

High West has announced the release of its newest iteration of The Prisoner’s Share Blended Straight Whiskey.

This unique whiskey boasts a beautiful blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskeys that are finished in The Prisoner Red Wine Barrels for 4 -12 years.

Since originally launching in 2022, The Prisoner’s Share has become a prime example of the magic that happens when a whiskey is finished in a red wine barrel. This year’s iteration of The Prisoner’s Share boasts an exquisite palate of Montmorency cherries, raspberry preserves on brioche toast, cacao nibs, brown butter caramel, roasted chestnuts, bergamot tea, and seasoned French Oak. As a premier sipping whiskey, this year’s version of The Prisoner’s Share is one of High West’s favorite limited-edition whiskeys.
