Sweet bourbon/rye with a Islay Peat finish. I love Islay scotch. I guess I drink too much of it to pick up much Peat flavor in this. Still I enjoy drinking this, trying to pick out the flavors.
Alcohol, sweetness
Sweet, slight smokiness slight Molasses, Rye floral, peppery
Bit of Peat smoke, sweet
Not a big fan the first time I tried it. Very smokey with some bitter chocolate and medical-grade rubber on the nose (not bad, just interesting). very smokey but not earthy on the palate. A bit of the bitter chocolate, and a decent bit of spice that hits the palate immediately. The peaty, earthy taste starts to appear a bit on the finish but doesn't last too long. Mouth stays warm for a while. Growing on me but not 100% in love yet.
smokey but not a peat smoke
Not for everyone. The Mad Scientists ya High West have created a unique offering blending Bourbon, Rye and Scotch Whiskey. It’s called Campfire for a reason, if you don’t like smoke, stay away. I found it was even better when I revisited it several months after opening the note and having my first pour. Definitely grew on me, and I’ve purchased it again.
scotch like... smokey
Doing a flight night of High West Whiskey...
Campfire was our least favorite, not as good as we hoped.
slight smoke, BBQ, peat,vanilla
medium mouth, spicey, pear, medicinal
burnt charcoal, charred steak
Camp fire, turpentine, peat and caramel on the nose, bitter chocolate mixed with smooth vanilla on the palate, smokey, spicy medium finish. Splash of water quiets the camp fire and adds raisins on the nose, removes the bitterness of the chocolate, sweetens the vanilla and adds raisin cake on the palate.
Magic bbq burnt ends pork goodness. Tastes like lagavulin with slightly less peat plus bourbon plus rye
Very interesting with the blend of different whiskies. Definitely taste the scotch up front. can't say it's bad, just very different. Worth trying.
campfire is right. Smoke is the dominant flavor, coupled with rye and bourbon spice, its intense. Behind that is sweet honey, and ripe fruit. apples, raspberries, coconut, and a healthy dose of oak. overall it's very drinkable.
Smokey, Carmel apple body
very smooth but would consider this a beginner bourbon. I prefer more heat.
Love the smokey flavor though may not be for everyone.
I know this is a pretty well regarded whisky but my palate isn't built for peat. Can't get past the smoke... hopefully I'll be able to acquire the taste one day ☹️
Smoky
Peaty vanilla
Oaky smoke
smoked islay cherries and coconut. spicy cinnamon and eucalyptus. bourbon and spice up front on the palate. oak and tannin with BBQ smoke throughout. amazing whiskey alot going on
I am a fan of the peeted scotches and this is a good mix that picks up some of those flavors. It is not enough to discourage others though.
Holy smokes
Lots of smoke and leather
Very spicy rye, some smoke and earthiness
Leather and tabacco
fairly smokey
I really like this mix. Bourbon, rye, peated Scotch mix. Nice campfire smoke, with sweet and spicy notes.
An interesting whiskey with smoky and spicy edges, but quite fruity at the same time - like smoked toast with marmalade.
Surprisingly fruity, with peach, apple orange and lemon. Vanilla, butterscotch, buttered toast and - in comparison to peated Islay malts - light smoky notes.
There's the rest of the smoke! It's fighting with rye spices for attention on the foreground.
The fruit is back (peach, orange), with some ash and dry oak.
smokey flavor finish is a little too much. might try it in an old fashion.
smokey but good
perfect whiskey if you like American rye and Islay single malt scotch.
An interesting mix of the, scotch and bourbon. The peat notes are subtle enough not to put it haters, but present. I would like the bourbon side to shine through to give some smoothness to the warmth.

veey smoky, would be great sipping on the back porch with friends in autumn.
Spicy, smokey and sweet. Perfect for a nice summer evening
Islay peat meets spicy rye. Note bad but was hoping for a bit more bourbon oakiness to round things out.
