High West High Country is the brand's American Single Malt expression, entirely distilled and blended by High West without sourced whiskeys. The bottling is composed of 100% copper pot distilled whiskey, which is "distilled on the grain," meaning the grain solids remain during fermentation and distillation instead of being filtered out. It uses a tri-malt recipe: 85% base malt, 14% caramel 60 malt, and 1% chocolate malt. The whiskey matures for two to eight years in a combination of freshly charred and second-use oak barrels. This annual limited edition release became available nationwide in December 2022. (SRP $79.99)

Nose: Earthy, notes of chocolate malt, and a hint of smoke. Palate: Mild chocolate malt, gentle spice, with a thin body. Finish: Faint nougat and chocolate malt, reminiscent of a Whopper candy. I believe they are still refining it. While I'm not a huge fan of chocolate flavors, this one is subtle. It's a good change of pace for the palate.
It has a malty flavor and a moderate burn that fades quickly. It's not bad, but I prefer other options in the same price bracket.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
