What’s not to admire in a versatile spirit? A bottle (or two) on hand that suits both your sipping and mixing needs, hosting a soirée or savoring on a quiet evening in? Well, pull out a chair, put up a glass, and pour yourself a few fingers (or paws) of Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Bourbon.

Grains hailing from the American Southwest, this lovely four grain bourbon boasts a mash bill of blue corn, yellow corn, rye and malted barley, lending itself well to that signature floral richness distinct to blue corn, alongside caramelized brown sugar, dark fruit and spice. Even its stout, bell-shaped bottle is a callback to the region’s practice during Prohibition of tying bells to wandering mules to discreetly tip bootleggers off of approaching lawmen. Although these days though it’s more a Pavlovian Bell as you eye it passing by your bar cart!

Not to be snubbed, Smokeye Hill also offers up a straight bourbon, featuring the same mash bill! So whether your preference tends toward 93 Proof opposed to Barrel Strength (varies by batching), there’s not a bad pick in the litter! It’s pawsitively a (s)mash!
