High West Distillery is toasting to the start of the New Year with the release of Cask Strength Blended Bourbon
High West Distillery is toasting to the start of the New Year with the release of Cask Strength.
Cask Strength is a new, limited-edition blend of straight bourbon whiskeys. Bold yet approachable, this release welcomes both seasoned whiskey enthusiasts and curious newcomers, and joins High West’s portfolio of fan-favorite core expressions. Available nationwide in limited quantities, Cask Strength can also be purchased at the High West Saloon and via the High West website beginning January 12th.
The release arrives at a milestone moment for High West, following Distilling Director Isaac Winter’s Master Distiller Certification – a highly respected distinction earned through a rigorous process and reflective of decades-old traditions in American whiskey-making.
On Cask Strength, Isaac shares: "This was a really fun blend to put together. Building on our high-rye blending philosophy, this Cask Strength expression uses our Bourye blending approach to precisely balance rye-driven spice with malted barley richness, resulting in layered complexity and a bold, lasting presence that keeps you coming back.”
This small-batch bourbon is composed of straight bourbons aged between 6 and 20 years, finished in new, charred American white oak barrels to deliver remarkable balance, complexity, and depth. Some details about the liquid are below.
