High West and The Prisoner - The Prisoner's Share Whiskey

High West x The Prisoner — The Prisoner's Share. A collaboration between Utah's High West Distillery and Napa Valley's The Prisoner Wine Company: a blended straight rye whiskey finished in The Prisoner's own wine barrels, merging two of American craft beverage's most inventive producers into a single bottle.

The Prisoner Wine Company built its reputation on bold, unconventional Napa Valley red blends — wines defined by dark fruit intensity, rich texture, and rule-breaking grape combinations. High West brought that spirit to whiskey: a straight rye base finished in The Prisoner's wine barrels, allowing the residual wine influence — the dark fruit, the tannin, the concentrated Napa character — to reshape the rye's inherent spice and grain into something neither producer could have achieved independently.

The Prisoner's Share is a limited collaboration release with the dual collector appeal of both brands — a bottle for whiskey enthusiasts and wine collectors alike.
