High Holler Mountain Reserve is a unique Appalachian whisky bottled at 107 proof, masterfully blending single malt, wheated, and farm-to-glass bourbon components using traditional 100% pot-still methods. This distinctive spirit captures the essence of mountain whisky-making with warm baking spices, fragrant apple notes, and a peppery rye backbone that honors the original Scots-Irish distilling traditions.

From the historic distillery grounds of Bardstown Bourbon Company in the heart of Kentucky's bourbon country, this expression represents a revival of Appalachian whisky heritage. Native Spirits has crafted this blend to showcase the rugged character and time-honored techniques that defined mountain distilling, where corn from valley farms and spring water from limestone hollers created spirits as bold and uncompromising as the landscape itself.
