High West The Prisoners Share Bourbon
High West The Prisoners Share Bourbon
High West The Prisoner's Share is a bold, elegant whiskey inspired by the classic "angel's share" concept, with a rebellious twist. A blend of straight bourbon and straight rye whiskey, aged 4 to 12 years, it's finished in French oak barrels that once held The Prisoner Red Blend wine from The Prisoner Wine Company in Napa, California. Bottled at 102 proof (51% ABV).
Where Whiskey Meets Napa Wine
First released in 2022, The Prisoner's Share has become one of High West's most anticipated limited drops, bridging the worlds of American whiskey and premium winemaking. The wine barrels impart layers of dark berry fruit, vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and warm baking spices while preserving the underlying whiskey's sweetness and structure.
A Patchwork Blend
The whiskey itself draws from multiple sources, including High West's own distillate alongside sourced bourbon and rye, selected specifically for how well their structure complements the wine barrel influence. It's bottled with particulate filtration only, avoiding chill filtration to preserve the full range of flavor compounds.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: blackberry, black cherry, vanilla bean, caramel, toasted oak, dark chocolate, and baking spices, with subtle red wine undertones.
- Palate: dark fruit, burnt sugar, roasted cocoa nibs, and toasty spice, balanced by a supple wine-finished roundness.
- Finish: long, with red wine tannin and charred oak.
How to Enjoy It
Best enjoyed neat at room temperature to appreciate the full spectrum of dark fruit and spice, with a few drops of water to open the aromatics further. Also works well as the base of an Old Fashioned, where its wine-barrel sweetness reduces the need for added sugar.
