Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon

I've heard a lot of great things about Smoke Wagon, but I delayed hunting one down for a lot of reasons: (1) It's MGP, which feels a bit like a cheat, but at least they're upfront about it; (2) there is a lot of hype so it is hard to find, and (3) I find the bottle and name a bit goofy. But I saw it pop up at a local shop and figured I'd decide for myself. Man, I'm glad I did. This stuff is really impressive. This is Batch 135c for what that is worth. The nose is really mild for 57%, mostly brown sugar, caramel and baking spice. But the palate - oh, the palate. So much brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, pie crust, and some red fruit - and it's so thick and wonderful. Hardly any heat, with trailing spice and maybe leather? Really happy with this one. I tried to buy another after tasting it with no luck, so I'll just have to wait around for the next one to pop up around retail.

This bourbon is a wild ride but well represents the Wild West!

Batch 124 (first time having this) Not picking up much in the nose. Palate- very smooth- caramel, butterscotch, vanilla. Finish is great. Little heat, but just right for the higher proof. Would definitely buy another bottle.
