Smoke Wagon Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold, small-batch release from Nevada H&C Distilling Co., the Las Vegas-based producer behind the acclaimed Smoke Wagon bourbon lineup. Since its founding in 2012, the distillery has built a reputation for sourcing exceptional MGP whiskey from Indiana and transforming it through expert blending and careful barrel selection. The Straight Rye expands the portfolio beyond bourbon, bringing the same attention to detail and craftsmanship to one of America’s most historic whiskey styles.

Distilled from a high-rye mash bill, this whiskey delivers the spicy, pepper-forward character rye is known for, balanced by layers of caramel, toasted oak, and subtle sweetness from extended barrel aging. Maturation in new charred American oak barrels in Nevada’s desert climate creates unique conditions where daytime heat and cool nights accelerate the interaction between spirit and wood, intensifying both flavor and complexity.

Bottled at 100 proof, Smoke Wagon Straight Rye carries strength and structure while remaining approachable. It is crafted to be versatile: smooth enough to enjoy neat, bold enough to hold its own on the rocks, and dynamic enough to elevate cocktails like the Manhattan or Sazerac. As with all Smoke Wagon releases, authenticity is central—non-chill filtered and bottled with care to preserve its natural body and character.

Presentation reinforces its prestige. The embossed Smoke Wagon bottle, featuring intricate desert motifs and the iconic crossed revolvers, has become instantly recognizable among collectors and enthusiasts, while the rye labeling sets it apart within the growing portfolio.

For whiskey lovers, Smoke Wagon Straight Rye Whiskey is more than just a rye—it is a continuation of a brand that has redefined craft whiskey in the U.S. Bold, authentic, and unmistakably Smoke Wagon, it is a standout expression that proves rye can be as refined and collectible as bourbon.
