Excerpt: This bottle of Smoke Wagon Uncut and Unfiltered just became my new favorite in the blended MGP bourbon realm. I am so impressed with the shear amount of flavors they got out of this.
Excerpt: The result is a bourbon that is enjoyable to sip and experience, but may not hold up as a cigar bourbon that many claim Smoke Wagon bourbons excel at.

House Review
Intro:
Distilled at MGP, and matured in both Indiana and Nevada, Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered is a barrel proof blend of bourbon, overseen by none other than Alex Chepenik. As the name would imply, the bottling is also unfiltered as well.
Nose:
Honey, praline, cinnamon, pungent cocoa and brown sugar. Gentle spice on the nose, with plenty of big toffee and sugar notes on the nose.
Taste:
Thick mouth feel, rich and syrupy. Brown butter, brown sugar, toffee, cocoa and a dash of cinnamon kick things off. The more this rests on the palate, some old tobacco notes and a bit of musty wood seep in. Really savory and dessert forward for an MGP release.
Finish:
Long finish. Dense on the palate, with tons of brown sugar, cocoa, honey, praline and a dash of cinnamon.
Overall:
This is bourbon done right. Extremely well done, in fact.
