High West drives complexity in their version by using both bourbon and rye: the bourbon lends earthy-sweet corn notes; the rye adds dry spice. Raw sugar simple syrup and bitters tie the blend together, and barrel resting in second-use rye whiskey barrels marries all the components and rounds the character into a cocktail with the fullness and cohesion that stirring alone never achieves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour over a large single ice cube and garnish with an orange peel twist — no muddling, no measuring, no stirring required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cassia bark, licorice root, eucalyptus, orange spice tea, sandalwood\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange zest, dried cherry, sassafras, allspice, orange cinnamon buns\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black pepper, cola, cinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e High West Distillery, Park City, Utah\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel Finished Pre-Batched Cocktail\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Bourbon + Straight Rye + Raw Sugar Simple Syrup + Bitters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43% (86 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years unopened; consume within 30 days of opening\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 do I serve the High West Old Fashioned?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour over a large single ice cube and garnish with an orange and lemon twist — no stirring or mixing required.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy use both bourbon and rye in an Old Fashioned?\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon brings earthy-sweet corn notes while rye adds dry spice — the combination creates more complexity than either whiskey alone, and the barrel resting integrates everything into a cohesive pour.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it keep after opening?\u003c\/strong\u003e Consume within 30 days of opening; unopened bottles have a 3-year shelf life.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I serve the High West Old Fashioned?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Pour over a large single ice cube and garnish with an orange and lemon twist — no stirring or mixing required.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why use both bourbon and rye in an Old Fashioned?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Bourbon brings earthy-sweet corn notes while rye adds dry spice — the combination creates more complexity than either alone, integrated by barrel resting.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does it keep after opening?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Consume within 30 days of opening; unopened bottles have a 3-year shelf life.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"High West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903652139079,"sku":"086003267107","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/large_High-Res-PNG-HWDOldFashioned7504093DBC.png?v=1782401839","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/high-west-old-fashioned-barrel-finished-cocktail","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
