Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey Christmas Edition 2023
Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey Christmas Edition 2023 is a 92.5-proof (46.25% ABV) straight bourbon, 750mL, from Nevada H&C Distilling Co. in Las Vegas, NV — the same award-winning Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon in festive 2023 holiday packaging. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Smoke Wagon launched in fall 2019 as an affordable everyday bourbon with the brand's signature delicate sweetness and rye-spice finish (the name is old-west slang for the 1873 Colt single-action revolver). The Christmas Edition dresses that same 92.5-proof bourbon for the holidays — "the perfect Holiday companion," per brand copy — with no change to the liquid: barrels of the high-rye mash bill are racked on the top two floors of the warehouse and never rotated, and the bourbon is non-chill filtered for a rich, creamy texture.
Tasting notes (official brand copy, via The Wine and Cheese Place): nose of honey, toasted nuts with some oak and heat; creamy mouthfeel with rich sweet notes of honey and caramel, followed by nuts, oak, and pepper spice; the nuttiness and oak fade as pepper spice from the rye takes over; finishes with a creamy sweetness that coats, followed by oak and lingering pepper spice.
Why buy: It's the known Smoke Wagon pour — high-rye, creamy, spicy — in a collector's holiday dress. Gift it, or pour it neat beside your favorite bourbon whiskey through the holidays. More from the brand at Smoke Wagon at Del Mesa Liquor, or browse holiday-ready gift sets.
