High West The Prisoner's Share Red Wine Cask Finish Blended Straight Whiskey 750mL

"The act of painting is about one heart telling another heart where he found salvation." - Francisco Goya

The Prisoner's Share contains 3 straight bourbons and 2 straight rye whiskeys aged between 4 and 15 years which are blended together and finished in French oak barrels that once held wine created by The Prisoner Wine Company.

A distinctive blend of aged straight rye and straight bourbon whiskeys, finished in The Prisoner Red Blend wine barrels to highlight the sophisticated notes of raspberry jam, toasted mahogany, crème brûlée, black pepper, cherry cola, and French oak spice character. Decadent. Indulgent. Unforgettable.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Cherry Blossom, pomegranate, macerated prunes, dried violets, ginger beer, dark mead, toasted cedar chips.

Taste: Honey-roasted figs, apricot jam on grilled brioche, black pepper, coconut pound cake, French oak spice, caramel drizzled over blood orange slices.

"All in all this is a fantastic whiskey blend that delivers flavor in spades despite sacrificing a bit of balance for a unique tasting experience. The asking price is a bit of a hard sell, but you can expect to be rewarded with a rich and atypical tipple that’s sure to impress." - Frank Dobbins, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

"Instead of copying A Midwinter Night’s Dram, High West has done just enough to differentiate The Prisoner’s Share from its older sibling. The Prisoner’s Share stands apart both for its base blend of straight whiskeys and the peppery, fruity influence from these particular wine barrels." - David Thomas Tao, Vinepair (93 Points)

"As I was sipping this, I kept thinking to myself how this is the most I’ve enjoyed a modern High West product in years. I’ve had every Midwinter Night’s Dram since 2017 and this tasted better than almost all of them. You could argue that The Prisoner’s Share isn’t the same type of whiskey, but it’s damn close." - Mike, The Bourbon Culture
