Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Nevada, USA

A deep, cask-strength Bourbon delivered in old-shool style with a rich and viscous mouth-feel.

One night in 2004 after a long day of work, Jonathan Hensleigh stumbled into an Eagle Rock, California, bar owned by Aaron Chepenik. The two men struck up a friendship over a love of Spirits and decided to open a bar together — The Griffin, located on the famous Freemont Street in old-town Las Vegas. They soon saw an opportunity to craft their own signature Spirits made the right way. They launched Nevada H&C Distilling Company where they make Silver Dollar Vodka and Smoke Wagon Bourbons.

Early on, Aaron and Johnathan have created their Small Batch Bourbon by combining a younger version of their high-rye Bourbon with an older version of the Spirit. This preserved the rye spice while developing the sweetness and thickness of the corn Spirit over more time — the best of both worlds.

Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon is that same multi-Gold Medal winning Bourbon. Only this time it’s been strained through wood chips and delivered at a cask strength between 57% and 58% ABV.
