The Signature Masterpiece of the Smoke Wagon Lineage

Created by Aaron Chepenik and the team at H+C Distilling Co., Smoke Wagon Small Batch is the bottle that put the brand on the map. Built on exceptional stocks of high-rye Indiana bourbon aged in traditional rickhouses, this expression represents the art of master blending. By carefully marrying barrels of varying ages and flavor profiles, Smoke Wagon achieves a remarkably complex, cohesive whiskey that balances high-rye spice with decadent sweetness.

Proprietary Barrel Selection and Aging

What sets Smoke Wagon apart is their meticulous approach to cask selection and blending. Rather than relying on a single uniform profile, they hand-select barrels that have developed rich, mature characteristics, allowing the natural sugars of the corn and the spicy kick of the rye to harmonize seamlessly. Bottled at an ideal 101 proof, it retains a robust, mouth-coating structure without sacrificing approachability.

An Exquisite, Dessert-Forward Tasting Profile

Smoke Wagon Small Batch delivers a rich, vibrant, and deeply inviting sensory journey:

• Color: Rich, glowing amber with warm golden highlights.

• Nose: Intensely aromatic and sweet. Waves of creamy vanilla bean, toasted caramel, and brown sugar lead the way, accented by secondary notes of bright red fruit, cinnamon, and subtle toasted oak.

• Palate: Immeasurably smooth, oily, and lush on the entry. The palate coats the mouth with layers of maple syrup, baked apples, dark chocolate, and rich pipe tobacco, anchored by a vibrant wave of classic rye-driven baking spices.

• Finish: Clean, warming, and medium-long, leaving a lingering echo of sweet vanilla cream, warm pepper, and mellow, toasted oak.
