High Holler Mountain Reserve is a distinctive 107-proof Appalachian whisky that celebrates the Scots-Irish tradition of American whisky-making. This unique blend combines single malt, wheated, and farm-to-glass bourbon whiskies, all crafted using 100% pot-still methods to honor the original mountain distilling heritage of Appalachia.
Crafted by The Bardstown Bourbon Company and blended by Native Spirits in Bardstown, Kentucky, High Holler represents the restoration of a nearly lost folk art. Appalachia served as America's cradle of whisky-making, where Scots-Irish settlers brought their time-honored distilling traditions to the hills and hollows of the mountain region.
