Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon

Cuts a lot sweeter with a bit of water

Oak and caramel front palette then the smoke wagon spice and evens out. A lot of quick flavors in a short period

Tasting Methodology: Neat in a Canadian Glencarin class. Rested 10 minutes. Nose: Ants, formic acid. Burnt maple syrup. Mouthfeel: Heavy, spicy bite. Spicy. Palate: Maple syrup, butterscotch, apple peel finish. Light leather. Delicious bourbon with a bit of kick. Overall rating: I like it for drinking neat.

Strawberry jam, rye spice, vanilla. Really solid sipper and unlike anything else.

Batch 130, 115.26 proof. Light and sweet on the nose, almost no ethanol is present which is surprising for the proof. The palate is sweet oak with a nice spicy rye tingle. That mix is what I gravitate towards in high rye bourbons and rye whiskeys. After the rye spice subsides a bit, I get some fruit notes, but it's the sweet, caramel, light oak notes that linger on my palate.

Tried this on the rock, not something I normally do but I be had Smoke Wagon before and wanted to try it this way. Nose: This is pretty nice as I got the spice I expected from Smoke Wagon. Palate: This is the best element here for me personally. This has a really deep butter vanilla taste that’s really pretty nice. Finish: here’s where I think it could have been better. This for me is a light taste almost very faint fruit notes but it doesn’t stay around long enough to taste.
