Frequently Asked Questions

What does High Holler Mountain Reserve taste like?

High Holler delivers a unique flavor journey combining warm baking spices and crisp apple from the single malt component, smooth sweetness from the wheated bourbon, and peppery spice from the rye whisky. The 107 proof provides intensity while maintaining drinkability, creating a complex but harmonious profile that showcases three distinct American whisky styles in one bottle.

Is High Holler good for cocktails?

While High Holler can work in cocktails, it's specifically crafted to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water to appreciate its complex blend of three whisky styles. The high proof and intricate flavor profile make it better suited for sipping than mixing, though it would excel in spirit-forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour.

How should I drink High Holler Mountain Reserve?

The distillery recommends enjoying High Holler neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of mountain water, especially as the sun sets over the mountains. Start neat to appreciate the full intensity, then add a few drops of water to open up the flavors and reveal the interplay between the single malt, wheated bourbon, and rye components.

What makes High Holler different from regular bourbon?

High Holler isn't technically bourbon - it's an Appalachian whisky that blends three distinct styles: pot-still single malt, wheated bourbon, and rye whisky. This unique marriage creates a more complex flavor profile than traditional bourbon, honoring the Scots-Irish whisky-making heritage that influenced early American distilling in the Appalachian region.

Is High Holler worth the price?

High Holler offers exceptional value for whisky enthusiasts seeking something truly unique in the American whisky landscape. The complex blend of three different whisky styles at 107 proof, combined with the heritage story and quality from Bardstown Bourbon Company, provides a distinctive drinking experience that stands apart from standard bourbon or rye offerings.
