High West Campfire Whisk(e)y
High West Campfire is a bold, intriguing blend—sweet bourbon, spicy rye, and smoky Scotch come together to make something adventurous yet drinkable. It’s great if you like whiskey with layers: comfort and smoke, all in one glass.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Produced by High West Distillery in Park City, Utah.
-
It’s a blend of several whiskeys:
– Straight rye whiskey (some from MGP; also some in-house rye)
– Straight bourbon whiskey (sourced from MGP)
– Blended malt Scotch whisky (undisclosed source) that provides the smoke/peat component. -
Non-age-statement (NAS), with described ages in its components roughly in the 4-8 year range in some sources.
-
Bottled at 46% ABV / 92 proof.
