Product Details:

Brand: Smoke Wagon | Category: Straight Bourbon Whiskey | ABV: 46.25% | Origin: USA (Nevada, sourced from Indiana) | Volume: 750ml

Tasting Profile:

Nose: Opens with classic bourbon richness, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, layered with rye spice, cinnamon, and hints of cherry and nutmeg.
Palate: Smooth yet robust. Sweet corn and brown sugar lead into baking spice, oak tannin, and a touch of pepper. The rye content adds structure and liveliness without overpowering the sweetness.
Finish: Medium-long and satisfying, leaving notes of honey, oak, and light spice that fade into a dry, elegant close.

Production Details:

Crafted using a high-rye bourbon mashbill sourced from Midwest Grain Products (MGP) in Indiana and bottled in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bourbon is aged in new American oak barrels, allowing Nevada’s dry climate to intensify flavor development. For this limited “Red, White, and Blue” edition, the whiskey remains unaltered in taste but dressed in a collector-worthy patriotic bottle, a salute to tradition and independence.

Perfect For:

Ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates classic bourbon character with a touch of flair. Perfect neat or on the rocks while celebrating milestones, holidays, or quiet evenings that call for a pour of true American whiskey.

Interesting Fact:

The Smoke Wagon name comes from an Old West slang term for a revolver, symbolizing the brand’s rugged Nevada roots and frontier spirit. Each bottle carries crossed revolvers embossed on the glass, a nod to its wild, independent character.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn or rocks glass to appreciate its sweet spice balance. For a cocktail, try it in an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan to highlight its rye driven complexity. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled for a clean, full-flavored sip.
