Tasting Notes

Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey delivers a bold, creamy, and balanced profile shaped by its high-rye mash bill and aging in Nevada’s dry climate. The nose opens with notes of honey, caramel, and toasted oak, accented by a touch of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, offering layers of toffee, roasted nuts, and vanilla, followed by a rising rye spice that adds warmth and complexity. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering sweetness, oak, and peppery spice that showcase its rich character.

Food Pairings

This bourbon pairs beautifully with smoked brisket, barbecued ribs, or char-grilled steak, where its caramel sweetness and spice balance smoky richness. It also complements roasted duck, glazed pork belly, or spicy sausages. For cheese, try aged cheddar, gouda, or blue cheese, where its boldness stands up to savory sharpness. On the sweet side, it harmonizes with pecan pie, chocolate cake, or caramel bread pudding, where its toffee and spice echo dessert richness. As an after-dinner pour, it works perfectly with dark chocolate truffles or candied nuts.
