3. Bourye Whiskey, 750mL, $79.99
Just talking about High West's craft whiskey and spirits makes you thirsty for it. High West's Bourye Whiskey is a blend of straight whiskey, bourbon and rye. It combines complex spices, deep earthy tones, sharp rye notes, caramel and vanilla. It's got it all. Founded by biochemist David Perkins, High West became the first legal distillery to operate in Utah since the 1870s. A grand addition to our state, High West served as a catalyst for more distilleries. The Park City restaurant is a ski-in gastro-distillery that offers tours. (LL)
