kah tequila anejo kah tequila anejo contains aromas of coffee, chocolate and tobacco masterfully created during its two year aging time in american white oak casks. the kah tequila anejo bottle is designed with black and white motifs to represent the practices of nicaraguans who take "rest in peace" to a whole new level. while they perform similar traditions to other latin american counterparts (ie. decorate graves, bring food to alters to honor the dead), they also often sleep at the grave-sites of their deceased. the idea is that by sleeping with the dead, nicaraguans reinforce the emotional connection they hold with those loved ones that have passed. kah tequila was designed to pay reverence and honor to mexico and its people. its bottle and spirit are reflective of day of the dead, the 3,000 year-old meso-american ritual honoring deceased loved ones. kah's unique packaging, in turn, is inspired by traditional calaveras used in dia de los muertos rituals to symbolize death and rebirth. the word kah translates to "life" in the ancient mayan language. every bottle is an individual, hand-crafted work of art, not two bottles are the same. while the bottle captures that enduring spirit, so does the tequila inside, as kah's distillers transform hand-selected 100% blue agave into lively blanco, reposado and anejo varieties that are both certified organic and kosher. $57.99 750ml

It seemed like any other day at the maker's mark distillery, as workers dunked tops of whiskey bottles into tubs of red wax. only this time, the bottles were different and so was the bourbon. since the late 1950s, the quaint distillery tucked into the kentucky hills has churned out just one product maker's mark. that's changing with next month's introduction of maker's 46, a close cousin of the original but with a different aging method in the final weeks to give the whiskey a distinctive taste. while the world of expensive spirits is rife with offshoots, maker's was steadfast in clinging to a single product until now. "this is our first creation in 52 years, and it really is a creation," maker's mark president bill samuels jr. said. "it's not like it's maker's with a couple of more years age on it." to create the product, master distiller kevin smith started with maker's and dabbled for more than a year before hitting on the recipe. whiskey barrels storing maker's are emptied so workers can insert oak planks inside each. the barrels are refilled and aged two to three months longer than traditional maker's, which ages six to seven years. as maker's 46 mingles with the wood, it takes on stronger hints of caramel, spice and vanilla, smith said. $36.99 750ml

silver omg pure rye omg had a different meaning in the 1800's - old monongahela rye. the monongahela is a river in western pennsylvania named after a latinized version of the native american word mechmenawungihilla. the word means "falling banks" in reference to the geological instability of the river's banks, which are high, get washed out and therefore collapse. this region was the site of america's first civil war, the whiskey rebellion of 1794. it later became the epicenter of american distilling when whiskey production boomed in the 1800's. monongahela whiskey was considered so marvelous that it became the standard spirit of the young nation. of the 2500 known stills in american, most were in this area; in 1810, kentucky produced 2.2 million gallons of whiskey from primarily corn, pennsylvania produced 6.5 million gallons of mostly monongahela rye. historians think the world began expect that whiskey should be barrel aged because it took longer for monongahela rye to get to its markets on the east coast - and it tasted darn good. omg was considered world class, even earning a shout out in melville's moby dick ("unspeakable old monongahela") in 1851. omg's dynasty grew even more after the civil war destroyed nearly all transportation from kentucky south. but prohibition changed all this. the distilleries in pennsylvania all went out of business and the industry there never recovered to the extent the bourbon distilleries in kentucky did. rye whiskey had faded away...until now. high west is proud to be part of bringing back a true american product. we have painstakingly researched the recipe for our omg pure rye, made from 80% rye and 20% malted rye. while it patiently ages to become true omg$37.99 750ml
