High West Whiskey American Prairie |
Wine Enthusiast 87 points - Made with a blend of straight Bourbons, this whiskey has a mild vanilla and resin scent. On the palate, flavors run to vanilla, cedar and citrus. Adding water brings out distinct cinnamon and peach notes, before fading into vanilla..Kara Newman, July/2015
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - Aromas of oak barrel, coconut, and brioche begin softly but grow in strength. Notably smooth and full in the mouth, with fig, caramel corn, butter cookies, and brown spices coming to mind. Exceptionally well-integrated warmth on the long finish. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.April/2018

I bought this after listening to a podcast about the old west and the PR director for the brand was being interviewed. Park City sounds great and so does the distiller but the taste of the product was harsh. I wouldn’t ever buy it again. It comes in a really cool bottle but not worth the price or hype. I’ve been constantly disappointed buying brands outside of Kentucky.
