A transatlantic blended whiskey from the people at High West in Utah. Following a trip to the peated Scotch whisky heartland of Islay, David Perkins sought to combine peated single malt with sweet bourbon as well as rye whiskey to create something unique. This is a 70cl bottling.
Golden syrup, peach, honey, a little rye spice and just a wisp of peat smoke.
A big hit of rye, cinnamon and sultanas, before we're back in honeyed toffee territory. Peat completes the tail of the palate.
Sultanas, toffee and lingering peat smoke.
Global blending is something we're going to see more of, especially if this one's anything to go by. Don't think, either, that due to the name this will be like eating embers, the peat is used sparingly to create a well balanced, and original addition to High West's range.

The skill it’s taken to blend this is very impressive. With every sip you can find something different. Bit of smoke one minute and then sweet the next, never tried anything like it. Got a bottle of this for Christmas and will definitely be buying another one once it’s ran out.
An extremely well balanced easy drinking whiskey. Drink it neat by a campfire for the authentic 'if the name is anything to go by'. Love it and has opened up the High West brand to me.
By far one of my favourite ryes (blends?) in this price range (full stop, in fact). Delicious.
One of the best whiskey's i've had to date. So much flavour with perfect amount of smoke. Only problem is its impossible to find
I really enjoyed this. Really easy to drink, my go to (when I can get it!)
