High West American Prairie Bourbon

This is a truly wonderful blend though it seems to change quite often. I dont understand what high west is anymore. They have been around longer than 2 years so why are they sourcing at-least-2-year-old whiskey? Did they give up on distilling their own juice and are sticking to blending? Regardless, this is great and the best bargain in the high west lineup that I’m aware of. And I’m aware AF. Of some things. Not particularly whiskey but still.

It smells young, with classic bourbon corn dust and honey barely sneaking through the ethanol. It drinks less harsh than it smells and has a decent finish for the low proof, but it’s pretty thin in the middle; the notes that are there of cherry and brown sugar are nice. Decent bourbon, nothing wrong but not worth buying again.

Good all around young bourbon. Spicy on the front, sweet on the finish. Great to mix with.
