Erskine Gwynne, the creator of the Boulevardier Cocktail, moved to Paris and began The Boulevardier, a monthly magazine patterned after The New Yorker, catering to the upper-class expatriate. Its contributors included such luminaries as Joyce, Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and Sinclair Lewis. Literally speaking, a Boulevardier was a wealthy and fashionable man who had knowledge of advanced cultural pursuits and frequented Parisian boulevards, New York City, and possibly Park Avenue (Park City!).

Aged in barrel for 120 days, to create the The Barreled Boulevardier, High West mix Bourbon with Vya sweet vermouth and Gran Classico, a bitter amaro from Switzerland. They then marry the mixture in American oak Bourbon barrels. The result is a complex cocktail with a taste bud inspiring interplay between sweet and bitter. Very satisfying. 36% Alc./Vol.
