Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon (4th of July Edition) 750 ml

Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon 4th of July Edition is the annual commemorative bottling from Nevada H&C Distilling Co., dressed for the holiday but built on the same small-batch bourbon that earned the brand its following. Each yearly release is selected and bottled in Las Vegas from mature, high-rye stock, so the profile leans on caramel and vanilla up front, dry baking spice and a peppery rye edge through the middle, and a warm oak close. Proof shifts a little from year to year, which is part of the draw for drinkers who collect the editions side by side. Pour it neat to read the batch, or build it into an Old Fashioned when the spice wants a touch of sugar.
