HIGH WEST DISTILLERY
ABOUT THE ESTATE
High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane.
David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to a whiskey distillery in Kentucky. In 2004, David and his family relocated to Park City, Utah to begin their new venture, where they began distilling in 2007. They chose Park City because of David’s love of the Old West and Utah’s little-known whiskey history.

PROTECT THE WEST
LUKE GRIMES
High West is proud to call the beautiful mountains of the Wasatch Range of Utah, home. It’s where we live, where we distill, and where we welcome people to experience our whiskeys. Wildfires have grown increasingly destructive and persistent, wildlife are finding their habitats becoming more difficult to survive. We want to do something about it, High West is making a commitment to give back, working to Protect the West with the help of our ambassador, Luke Grimes.
