High West Unveils Pre-batched Manhattan and Old Fashioned
Award-winning distillery High West, the minds behind the spectacular Campfire whiskey blend, announced the launch of two new bottled cocktails today.
High West Barrel-Finished Manhattan and Barrel-Finished Old Fashioned are the first two pre-batched cocktails produced by the distillery that will be available nationwide.
The distillery has, in the past, crafted premium, barrel-finished pre-batched cocktails. There was a Boulevardier that leveraged High West’s dedication to masterful whiskey blending, as well as a previous version of the Manhattan.
That version, the 36th Vote Barreled Manhattan, was created using a pre-Prohibition recipe: two parts rye whiskey, one part sweet vermouth, and two dashes of bitters.
Today’s launch of nationally available, barrel-finished bottled cocktails showcases High West’s award-winning cocktail program. The newly released version of the Barrel-Finished Manhattan (74 proof) consists of a blend of bourbon, rye, aromatic bitters, and two types of vermouth.
High West Barrel-Finished Old Fashioned (86 proof) also features a blend of bourbon, rye, and aromatic bitters. However, the pre-batched cocktail makes use of Demerara simple syrup rather than vermouth.
Each High West Barrel-Finished bottled cocktail is available in two sizes, 375ml and 750ml. The former carries an SRP of $29.99 and serves approximately six cocktails. The latter’s SRP is $49.99 and serves about a dozen cocktails.
Try them both with the convenience of delivery to your door via Drizly. Click here for the High West Barrel-Finished Manhattan and click here for the High West Barrel-Finished Old Fashioned.

I’ve been studying and writing about the hospitality industry since 2006. Like so many people, I started my journey in this business by working as a host, server and bartender. I was introduced to nightlife in Chicago, learning the ins and outs of nightclubs and after-hours hot spots.
After moving to Las Vegas nearly 20 years ago, I both co-owned a valet company and helped promote the club it serviced. That led to me taking on the role of editor for a Las Vegas hospitality industry publication.
A few short years later, I continued along my journey of hospitality industry reporting. I went from contributing to a major industry outlet to taking on the role of editor and content curator.
