Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon

Spicy bread (if that makes sense). I like it.

This is a great high rye bourbon! It's excellent - really quite exceptional. My only gripe is the price at $55. I can get nearly two bottles of Four Roses single barrel for the same price which is also a fantastic high rye bourbon at 100 proof; however, this Smoke Wagon does offer something different than the Four Roses single barrel. The Smoke Wagon has a lot more traditional rye notes which is really enjoyable - almost seems like a traditional bourbon and a high rye blend. While pricey, this offers a unique sip and it'll be something I try to keep on hand.

Smooth with light spice towards the front of the tongue. Sticks around the mouth long after it’s gone

Nose: citrus-sweet tarts, tangerine, honey, faint milk chocolate and oak Palate: orange, thin-moderate coat, sweet citrus at end, bright, cream, mild spice Finish: short to moderate, invites another pour
