Nevada Distilling Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In stock
Nevada Distilling’s high rye content bourbon is aged in the heart of a century-old brick warehouse. To ensure a unique and consistent flavour, barrels are hand selected to create a perfect blend that is smooth and at the same time bold and intense.
Released in 2016, the goal was to create a unique, great-tasting high rye content bourbon. The problem is that rye ages much faster than corn, so while younger vintages had a big rye spice flavour, the mouthfeel was too thin and lacked the sweet, delicate complexity of a well-aged spirit. Older vintages had the smoothness and sweet notes that can only be achieved by moving in and out of #4 char and caramelised oak for many years, but the rye spice had been aged out.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones, a warm, honey-gold glow.
Nose
Sweet caramel, vanilla and cinnamon rise in a warm, inviting aroma, with a soft, creamy sweetness and a hint of spice.
Palate
Rounded and smooth on the palate, this bourbon delivers toffee and caramel sweetness balanced by warm spice and soft, integrated oak, creating a warm, approachable mouthfeel with a gentle peppery lift.
Finish
Medium to long, the finish lingers with a toffee-sweet glow and a peppery kick. Vanilla-caramel warmth carries through, framed by soft oak and spice, leaving a memorable, subtly smoky impression that invites the next sip.
