High West The Prisoner's Share Whiskey 750mL

High West The Prisoner's Share Whiskey is a limited-release American whiskey created in collaboration with The Prisoner Wine Company. This distinctive expression blends mature straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys before finishing them in barrels that previously held The Prisoner Red Blend wine. Bottled at 102 proof (51% ABV), The Prisoner’s Share combines High West’s signature whiskey blending with the rich, fruit-forward influence of Napa Valley red wine casks.

The nose opens with pomegranate, cranberry, orange zest, toasted nuts, espresso, and warm cinnamon. On the palate, layers of cherry, raspberry preserves, caramel, cacao, roasted nuts, and seasoned French oak develop alongside the whiskey’s underlying rye spice. The finish is rich and lingering, balancing dark fruit, caramelized sweetness, baking spice, and oak.
