High West High Country is the brand's American Single Malt expression which is entirely distilled and blended by High West rather than using any sourced whiskeys. The bottling is made from a blend of 100% copper pot distilled whiskey which is "distilled on the grain" — the grain solids are left in during the fermentation and distillation process instead of being filtered out. It's made with a tri-malt recipe of 85% base malt, 14% caramel 60 malt, and 1% chocolate malt. It's matured for 2-8 years in a mix of freshly charred & second use oak barrels. This is an annual limited edition release with availability beginning nationwide as of December 2022. (SRP $79.99)

Nose: Earthy, chocolate malt, light smoke Palate: light chocolate malt, gentle spice, thin body Finish: light nougat and chocolate malt, like a whopper candy I think they’re working on it. I’m not a big chocolate note guy, but at least it’s subtle. It’s good to switch up the palate.
Malty taste, medium burn, lingers for a few seconds. Not unpleasant, like other bottles in this price range better.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
