"Whiskey matters...High West Distillery"
In keeping up with Bourbon Heritage month, here is High West Distillery, Utah's first legal distillery since 1870. As mentioned in an earlier piece, my good friend Larry James from Wine Warehouse had introduced me to Uinta Brewing out of Salt Lake City, as I remarked that I had no idea Utah made beer, he then added, "they also make whiskey!"
High West Distillery & Saloon is the brain child of David Perkins. He has a background as biochemist in the biopharmaceutical industry and worked for Amgen here in California. In 2004 he moved to Park City to pursue his passion to make whiskey. He is passionate about his love for whiskey and food and it shows in all that they do.
In 2007, Dave opened his doors and has since received much acclaim. His team is constantly experimenting and trying new and different combinations. The spirits are exciting and truly follow the wild west attitude.
