High West American Prairie Reserve. Image courtesy High West. This whisky is a blend of straight (matured at least two years) Bourbons from High West and other distilleries, and was named in honor of the American Prairie Reserve nature preserve being created in Montana. The nose has soft spices, including clove, nutmeg, and vanilla, along with honey and a hint of molasses. The taste is spicy and slightly tart with clove, lemon zest, a hint of pineapple, vanilla, honey, and brown sugar notes. The finish is juicy and spicy with a touch of grilled pineapple. (July, 2014)
