Review:

Aging and blending in Las Vegas Nevada, Smoke Wagon has come up with some delicious whiskies. Their Straight Bourbon is a staple on my bar. This bottled-in-bond rye is very sweet and approachable while still showing off its rye spice. Its higher price is the only reason it doesn’t rank higher. Cheers!

My Rating: Sip it if you like sweeter ryes.

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.

Cheers!

Rating scale:

-Spit: Don’t bother with this one. If a friend gives you a dram of it, are they even your friend?

-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk.

-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
