Final Thoughts
Campfire is one of the most distinctive blends in American whiskey, marrying bourbon, rye, and peated Scotch. The nose is a fascinating mix of campfire smoke, caramel corn, ripe peaches, and toasted marshmallow. On the palate, layers of honey, dark chocolate, baking spice, and earthy peat smoke unfold, with a balance of sweetness and savory smoke. The finish is long, smoky, and warming, reminiscent of toasted s’mores by a fire. Campfire pairs perfectly with barbecue ribs, smoked salmon, or rich desserts like bread pudding. Best served neat, it’s also a conversation-starter pour for adventurous palates.
