Online it ranges between $50 and $60 for a 750 ml at that price point, I would buy it again. That said, having tried Campfire, I am sold. Worth The Price: I was provided a free sample, so in all honesty, had I not tried it for free, I might have passed by High West Campfire at my local retailer. ![]() Approachable by bourbon, rye, and Scotch lovers alike, High West definitely has a winner with Campfire. Share With: This is a smooth, enjoyable whiskey great for sitting on the porch with a cigar, or around a campfire with a few friends. I think chilling or adding ice would mute the flavors too much. Neat, Splash or Rocks: I preferred Campfire neat, but adding a splash of water brought out a floral honey that I didn’t taste initially, which was nice. Dangerously smooth whiskey, especially at 92 proof. The Burn: Very little burn initially, but after a couple sips the burn sneaks up and lingers, fading slowly but smoothly.

The rye whiskey also comes from MGP, with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% barley. The bourbon comes from MGP and has a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley. The proportions? Top secret.Īccording to High West, all three whiskeys are not chill-filtered, or carbon-treated, and all three are sourced. The accent (Satchmo’s gravelly voice!) is smoke from a peated scotch whisky. The enhancing flavor (or harmony) is floral fruity spice from a mature rye whiskey. The combination of melon and sweet smoke really worked – so (naturally…) David thought why not mix sweet bourbon and peat? The main flavor (or melody) is sweet honey from a ripe bourbon. That was the most unusual, delicious and memorable ending to a dinner they had ever had. The great ladies that made the meals were simmering a bottle of peated whiskey and sugar! Later that night, they brought out dessert of ripe honeydew drizzled with the peated syrup. Here’s more info from High West’s website: One morning at the Bruichladdich distillery B&B, High West Founders David and Jane Perkins smelled peat in the air. High West Distillery in Park City, Utah decided to find out. So what happens when you blend bourbon, rye, and Scotch whiskeys into one? Personally, I prefer bourbon, especially those with a higher rye content that probably explains why I love a good rye whiskey as well. You might favor a particular style, but you occasionally dip your tastebuds in other styles. If you’re anything like me, you enjoy a wide variety of whiskeys.
