Process & Profile

High West The Prisoner’s Share Whiskey 2026 Release is a limited-edition American whiskey that brings together High West’s bold blending style with the rich, fruit-driven influence of The Prisoner Wine Company. This release is made from a blend of straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys aged between 4 and 12 years, then finished in The Prisoner Red Blend wine barrels for added depth, texture, and dark fruit complexity.

Bottled at 102 proof, High West The Prisoner’s Share Whiskey 2026 Release delivers a layered profile that balances bourbon sweetness, rye spice, and red wine barrel richness. The bourbon component brings caramel, vanilla, and body, while the rye adds structure, baking spice, and peppery lift. The wine barrel finish adds notes of black cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate, French oak, and soft tannins.

Rich, bold, and highly expressive, this limited High West release is built for whiskey drinkers who enjoy finished American whiskey with a darker, more indulgent profile.
