Bourbon Lens Thoughts:
While there may not be a press release, we do know that Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 11 is coming soon! It will be hitting shelves in Utah on October 8th and will be shipped via the Saloon Society soon as well. I have to say that I cannot be more excited, I look forward to this release every year along with Four Roses Small Batch LE more than any other drams. Will you be on the hunt for this year’s Midwinter Night’s Dram?

About High West Distillery
High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to a whiskey distillery in Kentucky. In 2004, David and his family relocated to Park City, Utah to begin their new venture, where they began distilling in 2007. They chose Park City because of David’s love of the Old West and Utah’s little-known whiskey history.
High West began with humble roots, opening a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in an historic livery stable and garage. What was once a small operation in downtown Park City has grown to be an internationally-recognized, award winning brand.
