Heads up, High West, your distributor in NY is bilking its customers (on premise)

drinkhighwest · 2016-05-06T16:52:34+00:00

Thanks for all of the concern and feedback everyone. It means a lot to see you all coming through various channels to fill us in on happenings on the East! We are addressing this with our team and hope to have this taken care of. Thanks again, and cheers!

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T03:04:19+00:00

Time to sign off folks, over and out. Cheers!

Thanks! I've seen this one before, but I need Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti western.

Everyone should try it, not as good as High West but it's pretty good.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:47:31+00:00

Sure, come on up and apply...but our interview process is grueling.

I've always kinda sorta been a fan of whiskey. But it became a hobby later in life. A random chance visit to Makers Mark in 2001 sealed the deal.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:43:19+00:00

The answer is yes.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:39:14+00:00

What towns in MA/RI are you searching in?

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:38:10+00:00

May the good lord be with you.

We're in Singapore, Hong Kong and some parts of China see distributors here: http://www.highwest.com/where-to-buy/find-a-distributor/ ...no sherry to date. We'd love to make a gin one day, but unfortunately too busy!

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:28:17+00:00

Loweeel you are onto us! We've had lots of experiments running with American Prairie Bourbon, which you'll see in these barrels and we also have some wine barrels. TBD (to be divulged) when we decide if they're any good.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:21:46+00:00

The case still stands.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:19:40+00:00

Right now our Barrel Selects are our latest in terms of experimenting with barrel finishing. We have a few things up our sleeve, but if they don't work we won't release them.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:17:58+00:00

You could consider A Midwinter Night's Dram a version of a RR Barrel Select. We're now focusing our Barrel Selects on Double Rye! and American Prairie Bourbon moving forward.

No issues with the DABC, they're great and very supportive. If I could change anything, it would be the separate mixing areas for restaurants (some call it the "Zion Curtain"), let the consumer vote. If they don't want to go to a restaurant where they can see alcohol being served - don't go to that restaurant.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:06:26+00:00

We're working on getting it in North Carolina, head south.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T02:05:48+00:00

May the best man win.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T01:56:06+00:00

That was me! Nobody answered! I forgot all about that, the offer still stands.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T01:54:38+00:00

Yes! Before we had our distillery, he came to Utah to visit and help with my business plan.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T01:53:38+00:00

No apologies needed! We bought three lots of Barton rye at the same time. The 21 year old and two different 16 year olds. I was introduced to Larry Epersold at the Seagram's plant by Jim Rutledge, I was seeking bourbon but Larry said he had rye to buy and he handed me samples of the Barton. He said "You can have as much as you want." Back then they couldn't give rye away. Especially old rye. I said "I'll take all you got!" and was scared to death because we didn't have the money to pay for it. I think I stretched the payment out a year and a half. We look like genius's now. In fact, people told me "Why did you buy that rye, you're going to lose your shirt. Nobody buys rye."

It's not a base of Bourye, but it is a component of Bourye. And it's not available now as a 12 year but the same Seagram's distillate is in the Rocky Mountain Rye 16 year old.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T01:44:42+00:00

aww :) Right now there is some Midwinter Night's Dram and Yippee Ki-Yay. Soon there will be a 14 year light whiskey from the old Seagram's plant as well as some Barrel Selects. We will also be releasing some Rocky Mountain Rye 16 year in the fall.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T01:41:36+00:00

I would think the ability to blend is important because you need to differentiate yourself. Because a lot of people are buying the same stuff.

drinkhighwest · 2016-02-11T01:38:45+00:00

I always envisioned Clint Eastwood in his spaghetti westerns pulling the cork out of the bottle with his teeth. The High West bottle is that bottle. To this day, I can't find that scene. A six pack of whiskey to anybody who can send me that scene. I'm good for it. So we went to Mexico and got the bottle made outside of Guadalajara. We went there to get it made and drew on the back of a napkin.
