Their High West style, High Country American Single Malt is distilled “on-the-grain,” meaning they leave the grain in during fermentation and distillation, instead of filtering it out.

In the tradition of American and Scottish whiskey making, High West uses both freshly-charred and second-use oak barrels during the maturation stage. These techniques produce a whiskey with a more distinctive American quality with a heavier mouthfeel, roasted malt character, and balanced complexity.
