Look For The Bell Today, the imagery of the bell remains a significant part of our story which represents the solidarity and ingenuity displayed by the local community long ago during the prohibition. The Founder Smokeye Hill Whiskey was founded by Blake Johns, whose family has owned and operated the land surrounding Smokeye Hill for generations. Upon forming Hazelwood Spirits Company (named after a beloved family member), Blake established Smokeye Hill Whiskey with a vision to craft a distinct and exceptional whiskey, free from traditional constraints. Inspired by his upbringing in the American Southwest, rich with local culture and hardworking individuals, this whiskey embodies a genuine appreciation for his familys heritage and spirit of the region. |
