High West Distillery 14 Year Old Light Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: While not deep, the nose is inviting. If youre a vanilla fan, youre in for a treat as the nose is predominantly made up of heavy doses of vanilla. Lightly layered under the vanilla are traces of sweet caramel and touches of honey; all of which are trailed by a clear ethanol undertone. The ethanol doesnt take away from the nose by any means, but it also makes its presence known with each deep inhale.

Palate: A lush palate full of light chocolate, berries, sweet frozen grapes, and honey are all entwined by rich vanilla. It sounds like a weird combination, but all of the sweet flavors play nicely together and form a delicious palate overall.

Finish: The finish lingers for a while with an enjoyable vanilla flavor that slowly fades away.

Distillery Information

High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to the Makers Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. In 2004, David and his family relocated to Park City, Utah to begin their new venture, where they began distilling in 2007. They chose Park City because of Davids love of the Old West and Utahs little-known whiskey history
