🌄 Brand Origin
High West Distillery, nestled in the mountains of Park City, Utah, is known for pushing the boundaries of American whiskey tradition. The distillery combines frontier craftsmanship with innovative barrel finishing, creating expressions that are as bold and free-spirited as the American West itself.

🍷 The Prisoner’s Collaboration
The Prisoner’s Share is a unique collaboration between High West and the famed The Prisoner Wine Company of Napa Valley. This whiskey blend is finished in The Prisoner Red Blend wine barrels — the same barrels that once held a rich, dark, and complex California red wine.
The result is a whiskey that bridges two worlds: the rugged strength of American whiskey and the deep, velvety character of fine red wine.
