Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in Nevada), USA
Reviewed December 20, 2021 (edited January 14, 2024)I really like what Smoke Wagon is doing out there in Nevada. Their small batch is excellent and this batch of Uncut Unfiltered is incredible - an all time favorite. This is easily the best MGP I've had to date. I'll definitely be keeping a couple different batches on hand. Batch 97 bottled September 22, 2021 at 59.06%. Notes from Aaron on batch 97: “On first sip I thought I grabbed the wrong bottle. I know 96-100 are all above 118 proof and this didn’t seem like it at all! • Upfront it’s a sweet creaminess that leans more towards the fruit forward side of flavors. Apples, pears and plums. The candy flavors are there especially vanilla. Caramel and toffee hang out in the background and add to the sweet complexity. • The finish is big and spicy with just a hint of dark earthiness. White and black are leading the spice charge on this one and they bring with them some black tea. There’s a wave of clove before cinnamon spice finally makes an appearance. It has with it a hint of sweetness. The cinnamon can’t quite make it to red hots status, it’s just not big enough and is in the background of the dominant darker pepper and rye bread spices. The spices are so big they have to fade slightly before I can tell that my tongue is absolutely coated in honey and vanilla pancake syrup. The black tea never completely fades and delicately lingers on the back of my tongue adding to the absolute insane complexity of this finish. • Fall is here and this spicy sucker is ready for cold evenings by the fire and will stand up to whatever big bold cigar you choose to pair with it.” -
