First Impressions
Campfire is one of the genuinely original American whiskeys of the 21st century.
Distillery & Heritage
David Perkins dreamed it up after a Speyside trip when he wondered what would happen if you married American grain whiskey to peated Scotch. Released by High West in Park City, Utah, Campfire blends straight bourbon, straight rye and peated blended Scotch whisky.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The nose offers corn sweetness, rye pepper and a curl of peat that smells genuinely like a dying campfire. The palate moves through vanilla, caramel and clove before the smoke arrives mid-palate.
Verdict
A modern classic and a brilliant conversation piece.
