High West Whiskey Campfire 46%

Bourbon, rye and Scotch whisky meet around the same campfire.

Expert description

High West Whiskey Campfire is an unusual blend of bourbon, rye whiskey and Scotch blended malt whisky, meant to evoke the mood of an evening by the fire, bottled at 46%. High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by former biochemist David Perkins and his wife Jane, who moved to Park City, Utah, in 2004 to start the distillery. When the distillery opened in 2007, it was the first legal distillery in the state since Prohibition ended in 1870 — Utah had gone over 130 years without a legal distillery. The distillery started in a historic livery stable with a small 250-gallon still and expanded in 2015 with a larger facility in Wanship outside Park City. High West is known for blending and finishing whiskey from multiple sources into unique, complex expressions.
