Introducing the Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon, a distinguished spirit that embodies the essence of craftsmanship and tradition. Just released in fall of 2019, the goal was to create an affordable everyday bourbon that had that unique and unmistakable Smoke Wagon flavor, consisting of delicate sweet notes with a rye spice finish. Barrels with our same high rye mash bill were racked on the top two floors of the warehouse and never rotated. The higher the floor the hotter it gets in the summer causing more expansion and more movement into the wood. Because we don’t chill filter, these combined aspects create a bourbon that is rich and creamy beyond its years. Never rotating the barrels ensures there are no harsh tannin flavors and the high rye mash bill adds a delightfully spicy and nutty finish.
The aroma of Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon captivates the senses, inviting you to indulge in its warm, inviting bouquet. Hints of toasted oak and subtle baking spices intertwine with sweet undertones, creating a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of bourbon country. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, this bourbon offers versatility that caters to a variety of preferences and occasions. Perfect for celebrations or quiet evenings, it stands as a testament to the rich heritage of American bourbon-making.
