High West "Campfire" Blended Whiskey (750ml)

that campfire is really really good.

is this distributed? or special order only?

You can get High West Camp Fire (and other HW variations such as Double Rye and Bourye) at most liquor stores that feature $50+ brands. Schneiders, at 3rd and Mass NE, is a good place for HW bottles.

Try Caskers. You have to register for an account but it's free and I've gotten lots of great deals here. It's $50 here, which is cheaper than anything you'll find at a store.

Relaxer,

Did you drink 1.25 bottles of booze last night?

 :D

I was given a bottle of Willett Pot Still Reserve as a gift recently that's pretty tasty.

Fortunately, Bill came to my place and we put down a bottle of Old Medley that had moved to the front of the line. If we'd gone to his place, which is empty, hollow and loveless, I'm pretty sure things would've gotten real ugly.

But since we were in my house, with a sleeping wife and children upstairs requiring some semblance of calm, it was kept in check. Plus he tried chewing tobacco for the first time and within 30 seconds had to run outside to throw up and after that, it was pretty just a slide into our saying good night to each other.

And yeah, the Willett Pot Still is very good. There's not a Willett whiskey that I don't like, and I really like their ryes and their Estate Reserves, which get up in the years (though they also cost a damn fortune). It's a great brand to explore.

I am sitting here at leisure sipping on the Camp Fire whiskey by High West.

The taste of scotch is very prevalent, which isn't my preferred tone. My hope was that this might be a gateway to appreciating scotch but if anything, it's confirming my xenophobic love for American whiskey. It's definitely a muted scotch taste but it's there.

If your friend is looking to make changes to himself in order to woo his wife back, I'm guessing a new found chewing tobacco habit is probably not the wisest change anyway.

Pine Orchards Liquors on Route 40 in Ellicott City has almost all the Pappy Van Winkle behind the register.

The 23 year was 1,000
The 20 year was 800
The family reserve rye was 375
and they had the 12 year, but I didn't see a price on that one.

I was there on Saturday...

If you go up to buy it with the intention of drinking it, please stop by our house so we can have a sip.
