Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon

Product Description

Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon: Barrel-Strength High-Rye Bourbon, Bottled Uncut

Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered is the brand’s flagship high-proof bourbon: the barrel-strength expression of the same vintage-blending philosophy behind Smoke Wagon’s Small Batch, but with the goal of a high-proof bourbon that tastes best neat. It blends vintages of a high-rye bourbon (MGP’s 36%-rye mash bill, sourced from Indiana) from barrels reported to range from 4 to 12 years old, aged in Indiana and in the Nevada desert, then bottles them uncut, with no water added, and non-chill filtered, at around 115 proof (the exact proof varies by batch). Nevada H&C Distilling Co. in Las Vegas makes it.

The distillers say older vintages concentrate fats and sugars, which gives the creamy mouthfeel and the caramel and honey sweetness. They describe it as rich and sweet with an unbelievably thick mouthfeel, with a heat and rye spice finish: “like milk with cookies.” A retailer notes a Double Gold at the 2017 and 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Tasting Notes

From Smoke Wagon’s description and reviewers.

Nose: Caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spice, like fresh-baked apple pie.

Palate: Thick, oily, and sweet, with caramel, butterscotch, dark fruit, cinnamon, white pepper, almond, and pecan.

Finish: Long and warming, with rye spice, leather, tobacco, and oak.

Food Pairings

The caramel, spice, and pecan pair well with barbecued brisket, smoked sausage, and aged cheddar. It also goes with dark chocolate, pecan pie, and apple pie.

Serving Suggestions

At barrel proof, sip it neat, then add a few drops of water or one large cube to open the sweetness and soften the heat. It also makes a bold Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
