Product description

High West The Prisoner's Share Wine Barrel Finished Whiskey is a decadent blend of straight whiskeys finished in The Prisoner Red Blend wine barrels, featuring sophisticated notes of raspberry jam, toasted mahogany, crème brûlée, black pepper, cherry cola, and French oak spice character. Equally decadent and expressive is the limited-release High West Whiskey bottle, which is adorned with artwork from Francisco Goya and a signature medallion, showcasing the indulgent and unforgettable creation of co-conspirators High West Distillery and The Prisoner Wine Company. This blended whiskey opens with aromas of cherry blossom, pomegranate, macerated prunes, dried violets, ginger beer, dark mead, and toasted cedar chips. A distinctive blend of aged straight rye and straight bourbon whiskeys, The Prisoner's Share offers a palate of honey-roasted figs, apricot jam on grilled brioche, black pepper, coconut pound cake, French oak spice, and caramel drizzled over blood-orange slices, with a bold but inviting finish of cold-brew coffee, berry crème brûlée, and roasted pecans. This 102-proof American whiskey fortifies classics like Old Fashioned or Manhattan cocktails, as well as countless other whiskey drinks, but its indulgent flavor profile also makes it great for sipping on its own, with a little water, or on the rocks in your favorite cocktail glasses. Choose High West and enjoy delicious craft whiskey made with the pioneering spirit. Sip Responsibly. © 2022 High West Distillery, Park City, UT

FAQs

Blended whiskey varies in its exact definition, depending on which country is making the product. In Scotland, blended whiskey often means a mix of malt- and grain-based whiskey; in the United States, a blend generally suggests a blend of whiskies with other neutral-tasting, non-whiskey spirits; in Canada, it’s a combination of single-distilled whiskey with high-proof double- and triple-distilled whiskies; Irish blended whiskies are similar to their Scottish brethren, though may include a distinct “single pot still whiskey” that combines both malted and unmalted barley grains. Because of the variation in regulations from country to country, the term blended whiskey could apply to many different forms of the beloved golden spirit.
Most Canadian whiskeys are, in fact, blended whiskey products, in large part due to the country’s unique blending process that combines single-distilled whiskey with super clean double-distilled and triple-distilled whiskies. As such, Canadian blended whiskeys are distinct in taste from similar products that hail from other parts of the world; our neighbors to the north tend to imbibe on lighter whiskies known for their smooth finish and heavy rye flavor. Canadian law requires a strict aging process similar to the standards set by Ireland and Scotland: all Canadian whiskey must be aged in wooden casks for no less than three years.
Whiskey itself is a grain-based alcohol aged in wooden casks; common whiskey grains include the same you might see on the back of your favorite cereal box, like corn and wheat, though barley malt and rye lend whiskies much of their distinct flavor. Depending on the country from which your whiskey is made, blended whiskey is made from different proofs of whiskey, different distilleries or different kinds of grain bases. In the United States, however, blended whiskey is made from a minimum of just 20% of actual whiskey, whereas the remaining 80% is a mysterious brew of flavorings, natural colorings and even other grain-based liquors besides whiskey.
