High West Mountain Gin
High West Mountain Gin – Western Craft Gin | High West Distillery
High West Mountain Gin is a beautifully crafted Western gin from High West Distillery — Utah’s pioneering craft distillery, founded in 2006 in Park City and celebrated as one of the most innovative and acclaimed spirits producers in the American West. Inspired by the dramatic landscapes, alpine botanicals, and frontier spirit of the Rocky Mountains, Mountain Gin is High West’s love letter to the American West — a gin that captures the wild, aromatic character of mountain botanicals in a spirit of genuine craft and distinction.
High West’s approach to gin reflects the same creativity and quality that has made their whiskeys legendary: a carefully selected blend of classic gin botanicals — led by juniper — complemented by botanicals that evoke the high-altitude landscapes of the American West, from alpine herbs to warm spice. The result is a gin of genuine character and versatility — bold enough to stand on its own, refined enough to elevate any cocktail, and distinctly Western in its personality and spirit.

How to Enjoy
High West Mountain Gin is supremely versatile. Enjoy it in a classic Gin & Tonic (gin, premium tonic water, lime wedge, fresh herbs) where its mountain botanical character shines, a Martini (stirred with dry vermouth, lemon twist or olive), a Negroni (gin, Campari, sweet vermouth), or a Tom Collins (gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, soda). For a Western-inspired serve, try it with sage-infused tonic and a sprig of fresh rosemary. Food pairings: fresh oysters, smoked salmon, herb-crusted lamb, light salads with citrus dressing, and soft cheeses with honey — fresh, herbal flavors that complement the gin’s mountain botanical character.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is High West Distillery?
High West Distillery was founded in 2006 in Park City, Utah — becoming Utah’s first legal distillery since Prohibition and one of the pioneering craft distilleries of the American craft spirits movement. High West is best known for its celebrated whiskey portfolio — including the iconic Rendezvous Rye and American Prairie Bourbon — but the distillery’s commitment to craft and innovation extends to its gin, vodka, and other spirits. High West has won numerous awards and is widely regarded as one of the most creative and quality-focused craft distilleries in the United States.
What makes Mountain Gin distinctly Western?
High West Mountain Gin draws its Western character from a botanical selection inspired by the alpine landscapes and frontier heritage of the Rocky Mountains. While classic gin botanicals — led by juniper — provide the foundation, the Mountain Gin’s botanical blend incorporates herbs and spices that evoke the high-altitude meadows, pine forests, and dramatic terrain of the American West — creating a gin of genuine regional identity that stands apart from traditional London Dry or European-style gins.
