High West: The whiskey outlaw thriving in Utah’s land of temperance

Whiskey tastes better at altitude – especially when it’s High West, born in the Wasatch Range and made for the cold - (High West)

Nestled in the snow-capped mountains of Park City, Utah, High West Distillery is both a whiskey brand and a contradiction. It’s a craft distillery in a state with some of the strictest alcohol laws in the country. It’s a Western saloon in a town better known for après ski than cowboy boots. And despite only opening its doors in 2006, it has become something of an institution – a place where whiskey lovers, tourists and locals converge over a dram of something distinctly High West.
