Jake LewellenHOST
So what's it like being able to have, you know, mature stocks that you all are always able to play with from a maturation and blending perspective?
Tara LindleyGUEST
So I'll start with sharing that when I first started at High West a little over 10 years ago, you know, we were growing at a great speed and our inventory wasn't quite built up enough to support that.
Tara LindleyGUEST
So we had a lot of holes in our inventory.

It was a big stigma.
Sid DilawriGUEST
And then everybody started talking about NDPs not.
Sid DilawriGUEST
And then I think so at that time, High West, Whistlepig kind of became a dominant in the market with the NDPs.
Sid DilawriGUEST
But it was a very negative notion about NDPs.

Melita KielyHOST
2026 marks 20 years of High West, an American whiskey brand founded in Park City in Utah.
Melita KielyHOST
It was one of the first modern distilleries in American whiskey and an indisputable leader in the rye whiskey renaissance.
Melita KielyHOST
For such a milestone occasion, it felt only right to sit down with both High West's master distiller, Isaac Winter, and director of sensory and product development, Tara Lindley, to hear more about how the brand has helped to popularize rye whiskey during its modern resurgence.
Melita KielyHOST
We also covered how blending and sourcing whiskey became respected as part of American whiskey's story and culture, and what the next 20 years could look like for High West and the wider whiskey category.
Melita KielyHOST
Isaac and Tara, thank you so much for taking time to join me on the Spirits Business Podcast.
Melita KielyHOST
I'm really looking forward to discussing more about the High West story and getting your insights into both the brand and the wider whisky category.
Melita KielyHOST
And I know it's a very special year for the High West brand this year because you're celebrating 20 years, which is an incredible milestone to hit.
Melita KielyHOST
How does it feel for both of you to be part of the brand as it reaches this milestone?

Emily WojtczakGUEST
It's one of my favorite things to take guests to when they come into town because where else can you ski right from the slopes, right into town, take your skis off, walk across the street.
Emily WojtczakGUEST
It's right next to High West Distillery, which unfortunately you have to be 21 to go to, but it's a great spot for lunch if you're in town with friends.
Emily WojtczakGUEST
And then if you walk across the street, Atticus Coffee, it's another fantastic place to grab a hot chocolate, a coffee.
Emily WojtczakGUEST
And then again, going back up the lift, it's It's a little mellow lift ride, but it gives you a great view of town and just an experience you don't get at other resorts.
