Sun’s goin’ down whiskey’s goin’ round
2024
Ascot Awards
“The Smokeye Hill win is the greatest upset of any major competition i’ve seen in my career. And the thing is, in a blind tasting, professional judges loved it over some of the biggest A-listers in bourbon.”
Fred Minnick, Award Committee
A Pour You
Can’t Ignore
Why? In part, no additives like most other bourbons -- just a pure honest whiskey with a warm vanilla flavor that goes down so easy. Thanks to five years resting in oak barrels, our four grain small batch bourbon delivers a distinct taste that’s unparalleled -- deep, rich, and authentic.
No cut corners, and a full on obsession. That’s how you get the most refined whiskey in the West.
It’s a Blue
Corn Thing
We use a proprietary mash of blue corn, yellow corn, rye, and malted barley. Because with heirloom blue corn, you get a sweet, floral richness, and a bourbon that’s distinctive.
Many say the flavor’s exceptional.
And we intend to keep it that way.
The Legend
Behind The Name
In the shadowy days of Prohibition, Smokeye Hill’s moonshiners had a guardian angel in an unlikely place: an Arizona agent who quietly believed in their craft. Whenever his fellow lawmen planned a raid, he’d slip a warning their way. On those days, the moonshiners tied small bells to their mules, which made a sound that echoed through the hills. And so, when the lawmen rounded the bend, they were greeted by an innocent chorus of bells. No moonshine. Just a bunch of a hard-working cattle ranchers.
Did the agent ever partake of the spirit himself?
That’s a tale for another day.
We Make It
Better Than We
Have To
It’s easy when you’re obsessed with whiskey.
“Make it with purpose. Make it with passion.
Make it better than you have to.”
That’s our motto.
Where the Passion
Meets the Pour
It all started with a desire to create a premium, one of a kind bourbon that embodies the unrelenting spirit of the American west. A bourbon that’s bold, a bourbon that takes risks, a bourbon that forges ahead towards new frontiers and above all else, a bourbon of the finest quality and taste.
Our Prohibition ancestors made moonshine in the desert, right under the nose of the law. We smoothed it out for you, but kept the mischief.
You’ll taste the heritage right away.
