Mountain Moments At Utahs High West Distillery
There’s something about drinking whiskey in the mountains that feels perfect. Perhaps it’s the way the cold sharpens your senses, making each sip richer. Or maybe it’s the warmth that spreads through you after a long day in the great outdoors. Some brands, such as High West Distillery, understand how to blend these elements beautifully. Perched on the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, High West Distillery is integral to the skiing landscape. As the world’s only ski-in- ski-out distillery, it merges adventure with fireside comfort, creating a mountain retreat where whiskey is just one aspect of the overall experience. You can ski or snowboard straight from the slopes into the warmth of the High West Saloon, located in a historic livery stable, where a Rendezvous Rye or Old Fashioned awaits to take the edge off the chill. The air is rich with woodsmoke and spice, and time seems to slow down. It feels as though this is just how whiskey is meant to be enjoyed. Guided tastings offer visitors an understanding of how the high- altitude ageing process shapes the flavour profile of each bottle.
