Description
High West American Prairie Bourbon is an exceptional small-batch bourbon produced at the famous High West Distillery in Utah. This bourbon is a tribute to the vast prairies of North America and supports the conservation of the American Prairie Reserve with a portion of the proceeds – a unique project to preserve the original wild landscape.

This barrel maturation ensures a deep, multi-layered flavour with a perfect balance of sweetness, spice and gentle smokiness. With an alcohol content of 46% vol., this bourbon offers a pleasant intensity, yet remains wonderfully harmonious and smooth.
