High West Campfire (2023 Release)

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.

Nose - typical whisky smell Taste - kicks at the start with an almost charcoal taste, progresses into a softer smokey flavor Finish - more from the taste which devolves over time into nothing Score - 3.5 Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate

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!

Neck pour off the bottle. Nose has a peaty smoke to it. Under that is a bit of the rye spice. Taste backs up the nose, a nice smokey start into the peat. Underneath all of that there is a nice sweet note that comes through. Finish is smooth and continues the nice smokey peat. Not my jam, but will definitely make someones butter.

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.

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