High West High Country (Batch. 22J11), 44%

Price: 80 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

Rustic and floral on the nose, with dandelions, celery, and honey-wheat pretzels. Adding water takes this whiskey to the seaside, with salt air, seaweed, and salted caramel. The palate is sweet and herbal with sweet mint, peppermint ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and more salted caramel. The finish turns bready, with gingerbread, cinnamon cakes, and caramel cookies.
