December 5, 2024 – High West and Casa Noble Tequila announce the launch of The Noble Share ($174.99), a whiskey expression that uses 4 to 10-year-old rye whiskeys finished in Marques de Casa Noble añejo tequila barrels for 6 months. A portion of the blend is finished in Amburana barrels at a char of 3 or medium toast treatments for a small period to elevate the whiskey even further.
High West, the Park City-based distillery, which is known for its meticulously sourced and thoughtfully blended whiskeys, and Casa Noble, a fine tequila built by a 7th-generation tequila maker using innovative methods that honor modern Mexican culture.
The bottle will be release on Sunday, December 8, 2024 in select markets throughout the U.S.
“High West is honored to blend its rich whiskey traditions with Casa Noble’s storied heritage.” said Tara Lindley, Director of Sensory & New Product Development at High West Distillery. “While the Casa Noble Marques Añejo barrels are at the heart of this expression, a portion of the blend has also been finished in Amburana barrels – adding layers of complexity and introducing a delicate hint of cinnamon that beautifully complement the bold, spice-forward character of High West rye. Together, these barrels create a richly textured, harmonious expression that celebrates the artistry of blending.”
This collaboration between Casa Noble and High West is a true celebration of craftsmanship and tradition, where the bold, botanical spice of High West rye meets the refined elegance of Casa Noble’s Marques Añejo French Oak barrels. Together, we’ve created something exceptional that bridges the worlds of whiskey and tequila.” said Pepe Hermosillo, Founder of Casa Noble Tequila. “This partnership allowed us to push boundaries, merging the richness of aged tequila with the spice-forward character of High West rye. The result is a whiskey with layers of flavor that tell a story of innovation and respect for tradition, creating a truly unforgettable tasting experience.”
This whiskey blends the heritage of High West Whiskey with the 7-generation legacy and craftsmanship of Casa Noble to create an exceptional bottle of whiskey that tastes and feels unlike any other.

Tasting Notes – by Tara Lindley (High West’s Director of Sensory QA & New Product Development). The Marques Añejo tequila barrels impart beautiful yet subtle agave and lemongrass notes with light vanilla. This is complemented by the botanical character and spice from the base rye spirit blend. The Amburana barrels enhance blend complexity with a slight nuance of cinnamon stick.
