High West Distillery recently released this year's version of The Prisoner’s Share.

Since the first release of A Midwinter Night’s Dram over a decade ago, Utah’s High West Distillery has earned a reputation for taking bold swings with wine cask-finished whiskey. Some of those releases have become beloved staples; A Midwinter Night’s Dram remains one of the holiday season’s most sought-after releases. Others — notably the vermouth and syrah-finished Yippee Ki-Yay — eventually fell by the wayside as the brand tightened its core portfolio.

In 2022, the distillery announced a new wine-and-whiskey collaboration dubbed The Prisoner’s Share. The release is a blend of both straight bourbon and rye whiskeys, aged between four and 15 years and finished in French Oak barrels that previously held The Prisoner Red Blend.

From a taste perspective, the partnership seemed like a fun step into familiar territory. From a business perspective, brand synergy was clearly at play, as both High West and The Prisoner Company are owned by Constellation Brands. The exact whiskey blend is undisclosed. But given the age statements and High West’s blending track record, it’s widely assumed to be a mix of in-house whiskey and sourced distillate from Indiana’s MGP and other distilleries.

Let’s dive in to see how this latest blend stacks up. David Thomas Tao reviews it for VinePair here.
