High West The Prisoner’s Share is a bold and elegant whiskey inspired by the classic concept of the “angel’s share,” but with a rebellious twist. This limited-edition blend pays homage to those who seize what’s too good to leave behind—offering a rich, full-bodied whiskey that combines High West’s blending artistry with a finishing touch in barrels that once held the acclaimed The Prisoner Red Blend wine.
Crafted from a marriage of straight rye whiskey and straight bourbon whiskey, The Prisoner’s Share is finished in French oak and ex-red wine barrels for an elevated depth of flavor. Bottled at 102 proof (51% ABV), it offers bold structure and rich character with notes of dark fruit, burnt sugar, roasted cocoa nibs, and toasty spice, balanced by a supple wine-finished roundness.
Whether sipped neat or paired with a refined meal or cigar, this whiskey captures the spirit of indulgence—and invites you to enjoy the share you truly deserve.
