High West's High Country brings a distinctly Utah perspective: distilled on-the-grain — meaning the grain remains in contact during fermentation and distillation rather than being filtered out — for a richer, more flavor-forward result more typical of American whiskey style. The copper pot stills and Wasatch Mountain water source contribute mineral clarity and a clean malt base that American oak aging then shapes into something simultaneously familiar to Scotch enthusiasts and distinctly American in its oak intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fig jam on toast points, whole grain waffles with honey drizzle, cracked walnut shells, dried wildflowers, cedar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyed cereal, crème caramel custard, almond macaroons, toasted biscuits with herbal jelly, subtle banana taffy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and lingering with malt sweetness and gentle oak spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e High West Distillery, Wanship, Utah\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Single Malt Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Malted Barley, Distilled On-the-Grain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper Pot Still\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e New American Oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does American single malt differ from Scotch single malt?\u003c\/strong\u003e American single malts use new American oak rather than used Scotch casks — producing more aggressive oak, vanilla, and caramel character.
