33 open bottles in my collection ranked through multiple blind tastings. Counting them down! #23: High West Campfire. 46% ABV. Batch 17J31 Paid $62 Probably will restock at a similar price if only because you can’t pin this whiskey down even after an entire bottle. “Campfire” suggests a straightforward whiskey. This ain’t. I would have named this “Smoking Peyote by the Campfire.” It is a blend of bourbon, rye, and peated Scotch. Islay and Indiana. Made by the sea; and as-far-from-the-sea-as-possible. There are a lot of notes on the nose, but if I had to pick just one: barbeque potato chips. Tastes like schizophrenia, with rye usually leading the charge. I could handle peat and bourbon, but the rye spices takes this dram from contemplative to psychotic. It composes itself in the finish. A little dill and green herbs in, well, Campfire. No way to guess what Scottish distillery is in this blend; the peat is much less than the bourbon and rye components. It’s real up and down: some days I adore this; but recently, it’s failed to captivate me. In the end, it probably beats my infinity bottle.
