Description
A 12-year private barrel selection from Nevada H&C Distilling Co., this is a refined, aged expression that showcases deeper complexity and richness than standard Smoke Wagon releases. Bottled at 114.2 proof, it strikes a perfect balance between power and elegance, with the extended aging bringing out darker, more developed flavors.
Nose:
Opens with rich aromas of dark cherry, blackberry compote, and caramelized sugar. Layers of seasoned oak, leather, and vanilla bean follow, accented by toasted nuts and warm baking spice.
Palate:
Full-bodied and silky. Notes of toffee, molasses, and dark chocolate lead, balanced by ripe stone fruit and well-integrated oak. Mid-palate reveals cinnamon, clove, and a touch of black pepper, delivering depth without overwhelming heat.
Finish:
Long and refined. Lingering oak tannins, vanilla, and dark caramel fade into subtle leather, spice, and a slightly dry, elegant close.
Overall:
This is premium Smoke Wagon?the 12-year age adds serious depth and structure, transforming the profile into something darker, richer, and more collector-focused. Each private barrel is unique, but at this age and proof, expect a limited, high-end bourbon that stands out on any top shelf.
Bottle Size: 750ml
