A bold departure from the Utah mountains, High West 2024 Mountain Gin is a masterfully crafted expression that celebrates the wild spirit of the American West. Known for its award-winning whiskeys, High West brings that same dedication to terroir and technique into this seasonal 2024 release—an alpine gin infused with fresh mountain botanicals and rooted in rugged elegance.
Inspired by the flora of the Wasatch Range, this limited-production gin is vapor-distilled with native juniper berries, sagebrush, and vibrant citrus peels. The result is a refreshingly aromatic and herbaceous profile that elevates classic cocktails while standing confidently on its own.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
