Nevada Distilling Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey

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.
