High West American Prairie Bourbon Whiskey

High West Distillery is passionate about the American West's natural beauty. That's why we want to raise awareness of one of the most fantastic projects of our time: the American Prairie Reserve in northeastern Montana. This is a tremendous effort to assemble the largest wildlife reserve in the lower 48 states. When stepping onto the plains of American Prairie Reserve, it's easy to imagine the landscape as Lewis and Clark, and Native Americans saw it, with thundering herds of bison, racing bands of pronghorn antelope and prairie dog towns dotting the horizon. When complete, the Reserve will be approximately 5,000 square miles, larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Teton National Parks combined. Go to americanprairie.org to learn how to visit and support this worthy cause.  Capable of running at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, the pronghorn antelope in North America is the fastest land mammal and performs the continent's second-longest land migration of more than 500 miles. Because of their love of travel, Pronghorn require large areas of open and intact grasslands. Moreover, pronghorn populations have decreased 98% since the 1800's due to habitat destruction. American Prairie Reserve helps Pronghorn through its ongoing fence removal efforts and by conserving wildlife corridors. Their American Prairie is a carefully crafted blend of straight bourbons at least 2 years old, (see highwest.com for technical details and sourcing.) making a great sipper and thoughtful person's whiskey. High West supports the American Prairie Foundation, to find out more go to americanprairie.org Montana artist Diane Whitehead painted the handsome Pronghorn on the front of this bottle.
