The Utah-based High West Distillery has announced the launch of a new limited-edition cask-strength release.

High West Cask Strength (58.5% ABV) is a blended small-batch Bourbon composed of straight Bourbons aged between six and 20 years, finished in new, charred American white oak barrels.

The latest release has been produced using a mash bill comprising: 60% corn and 40% malted barley (Kentucky); 60% corn and 40% rye (Kentucky); 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley (Indiana); 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley (Kentucky); and 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley (Tennessee).

Described as bold yet approachable, High West Cask Strength delivers aromas of butter-poached green apples, candied Meyer lemons, cornbread drizzled with honey, brioche toast points, crushed walnuts, allspice, sarsaparilla, fresh hay and a newly built wooden porch swing. On the palate, notes of sweet plantains with cinnamon, dried apricots, peach crumble, homemade toffee, Earl Grey crème tea, nutmeg, rose, hickory and seasoned oak follow.

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 whisky-making.

Commenting on the launch, Isaac said: “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.”

High West Cask Strength is now available in limited quantities across the US, for a RRP of $69.99.
