High West Campfire (2023 Release)

Great buy from the HW Saloon, went down smooth but was hoping for a little more to develop from it. I remember the older version having a bit more of a vanilla with firey almost peat to it. Still a great buy just not sure if worrh the price tag over their normal straight bourbon or double rye.

Look = Medium brown color, shich goes to show that each mixture of rye, bourbon , and scotch is aubtle at all levels. Smell =Aroma of each blend of rye, whiskey, and scotch is subtle at the start, then becomes stronger the nore you inhale. For me, I could really smell hints of caramel at this point. Taste = Smooth right when it hits the palate. Doesn't really sway one way or the other of which whiskey you're tasting. After Taste = This is where I catch all of the remainder of the hints of chai and pecan. Taste of caramel, chai, and oecan definitely stay in the palate after tasting. Also burns in the chest/stomach instead of mouth/throat, which helps with a smoother taste and goes to show it's not improperly aged.

Dark copper in color, runs off the glass fairly quickly but leaves a nice sheet. Nose fits the lable. Its smoky with caramel and sweet malty notes. A bit of barn funk and wafts of vanilla frosting. It tastes.like a campfire too. But in the most delicious way. It's soft and silky on the palate and Sweet enough to balance out the smokiess. It's different, and delicious!

Bourbon on the front, quickly through the rye, with a long scotch finish
