High West Distillery

High West Distillery is an award-winning Utah whiskey producer. The business was founded in 2009 by biochemist David Perkins, and became the first legal distillery to trade in Utah since the 1870s.

The first distillery was a small, 250-gallon still located at the foot of the Park City ski runs. In 2015, a 1600-gallon copper pot still facility was opened high in the Rocky Mountains near Wanship, and production was moved.

The High West range includes a Bourbon, two ryes and Campfire, an unusual blend of Bourbon and rye with Scotch whisky. Barrel-aged cocktails, vodka and an oat whiskey complete the regular line up, and several limited-edition products appear periodically.

High West Distillery was named "Whiskey Pioneer of the Year" by Whisky Advocate magazine in 2011.
