High West American Prairie Bourbon Whiskey

More than two hundred years ago, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set forth on a journey that would take them through the Great Plains, along the banks of the Yellowstone River and finally, to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. At the time, the Great Plains abounded with millions of bison, pronghorn antelope, deer and elk. In addition, immense flocks of birds blanketed the open sky.High West American Prairie Bourbon pays tribute to the expedition of Lewis and Clark and to the frontiersman who pioneered the west. Made from a secret blend of a 2 year old bourbon from Indiana (made from a mash of 75 percent corn, 20 percent rye and 5 percent barley), a 6 year old bourbon from Kentucky, and a 13 year old bourbon from Kentucky, American Prairie is finished in American white oak casks with a #2 char on the heads and a #4 char on the staves. The varied char of each cask gives the bourbon a unique flavor profile " it has strong notes of vanilla and caramel married with notes of blood oranges and dark cherries.Ten percent of the profits from the sale of each bottle of American Prairie will be donated to the American Prairie Foundation.
