Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Bourbon & Straight Bourbon & Barrel Proof Rye Blue Corn 3 x 750ml

This three bottle bundle brings together the complete Smokeye Hill lineup, the full range from the Colorado craft brand that made national noise in 2024 when its barrel proof bourbon was named Bourbon of the Year at Fred Minnick's ASCOT Awards, beating titans like George T. Stagg and E.H. Taylor in a blind tasting. The set showcases the brand's signature heirloom blue corn across three expressions, giving you a complete tour of grain, proof and style in one collection. Smokeye Hill draws its name and lore from a rugged stretch of the American Southwest, where Prohibition era bootleggers reportedly hung bells on their roaming mules to warn of lawmen rounding the bend. All three whiskeys are crafted to Smokeye Hill's recipe in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, then trucked to Colorado Springs, where they are barreled and aged a minimum of five years at high elevation in American white oak barrels of various sizes and char levels, and bottled non chill filtered. The Straight Bourbon, at an approachable 93 proof, is smooth and nuanced with caramelized brown sugar, vanilla, honeysuckle, dark fruit and cacao. The Barrel Proof Bourbon, the ASCOT winner, is the same four grain blue corn recipe bottled uncut at a bold 132 proof, delivering concentrated vanilla, caramel, dark fruit, baking spice and toasted oak. The Barrel Proof Rye, the first rye made with heirloom blue corn, blends rye forward spice with that distinctive earthy blue corn sweetness across pine, antique wood, tobacco, orchard fruit and vanilla, also at 132 proof. Because the barrel proof bottles are drawn straight from the barrel, exact proof varies from batch to batch. A definitive gift or tasting flight for any whiskey lover, this trio covers the whole Smokeye Hill story. Enjoy the 93 proof neat or in cocktails, and sip the barrel proof bottles neat with a few drops of water.
