By David Morrow
Published on March 2, 2026.
High West has introduced High West Cask Strength Bourbon, a limited national release of straight bourbons aged six to 20 years and sourced from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. The launch coincided with Distilling Director Isaac Winter earning his Master Distiller Certification through the Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers. High West describes the bourbon as an extension of its high-rye blending philosophy and uses its Bourye approach to balance spice and malted barley character. The 2026 release incorporates five mash bills sourced from various distilleries, with no bourbon distilled by High West. The bourbon is available nationally in limited quantities and costs $69.99.
