Welcome to the Bar! High West Campfire Whiskey

Introducing High West Campfire Whiskey

About High West Campfire Whiskey

The distiller was going to write something cheesy about cowboys, campfires, and whiskey but he figured you might be more interested in how Campfire Whiskey® came to be. One morning at the Bruichladdich distillery B&B, him and his wife smelled peat in the air - the great ladies that made our 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. That was the most unusual, delicious and memorable ending to a dinner I've ever had. The combination of melon and sweet smoke really worked - so (naturally...) He thought "why not mix sweet bourbon and peat?" The main flavor (or melody) is sweet honey from a ripe bourbon. The enhancing flavor (or harmony) is floral fruity spice from a mature rye whiskey. The accent (Satchmo's gravelly voice!) is smoke from a peated Scotch whisky. The proportions? Top secret.

So...as the sun sinks low and the cold settles in, grab a bottle of Campfire Whiskey® and gather round a blazing fire to warm up, wind down your day, share stories, and deepen friendships. One taste of this sweet, spicy and, yes...smoky whiskey, you'll know how it got its name. We like to enjoy Campfire Whiskey® with s'mores...or good-looking strangers. If you find yourself in Old Town Park City, you ought to come visit the High West Distillery and Saloon and get a taste of our Western hospitality and our crowd-pleasing victuals.

The Components

...which have changed over the years, consist of whiskeys aged from four to 15 years (the exact percentages are not revealed): straight rye whiskey (95 percent rye, 5 percent malted barley) from MGP in Indiana, straight bourbon (75 percent corn, 21 percent rye, 4 percent malted barley) from MGP, rye whiskey (80 percent rye, 20 percent malted rye) from High West and a blended malt scotch whisky (the source is undisclosed). The whiskey is bottled at 92 proof, and has notes of vanilla, honey, cherry and baking spice on the palate, all backed up by a subtle but noticeable whiff of smoldering campfire smoke—hence, the name.
