The High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins, a biochemist and his wife Jane. Inspired by the fermentation and distillation process and the parallels to biochemistry, David Perkins decided to create his own distillery. In 2004 he and his family moved to Park City, Utah to start their new business. Distillation began in 2007.
