Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Uncut Unfiltered

Nose: Warm waves of caramel, vanilla bean, and dark honey, layered with cinnamon, ripe stone fruit, and a subtle touch of charred oak. A background of baking spice and dried herbs adds depth.

Palate: Unctuous and velvety, the mouthfeel is incredibly rich and thick. Flavors of butterscotch, milk chocolate, and sugar cookie dough unfold into black cherry, roasted nuts, and burnt orange zest. The high rye content emerges mid-palate with lively white pepper and spiced clove, balanced perfectly by sweet cream and aged oak.

Finish: Long, warming, and evolving. Notes of rye spice, tannin-rich oak, and lingering vanilla toffee. A dry, peppery kick on the back of the tongue gives way to a coating sweetness that lingers like fresh-baked cookies dunked in warm milk.

Neat: This is where Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered truly shines. Pour into a Glencairn or wide rocks glass and let it breathe a few minutes to fully appreciate its complexity.

With a Few Drops of Water: A splash can tame the proof and unveil even more nuance—especially delicate fruit, floral, and toasted sugar notes.

On the Rocks: For those who prefer a slightly tempered sip, a large clear ice cube will soften the spice while preserving the bourbon’s core richness.

Pair With:

Food: Smoked brisket, dark chocolate-covered almonds, crème brûlée, or pecan pie.

Cigars: Medium to full-bodied cigars with earthy or nutty profiles—try a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper to match the spice.
