PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Smoke Wagon Desert Colt Full Strength is an accessible yet powerful cask-strength bourbon thoughtfully designed for daily enjoyment. Bottled at 58.35% ABV (116.7 proof), it delivers bold fruit-forward sweetness tempered with rye spice and warm oak. Despite packing heat, it remains surprisingly smooth and creamy—making it ideal for lovers of high-proof bourbon looking for value and complexity.
Produced by Nevada H&C Distilling Co. (Smoke Wagon) and sourced from MGP in Indiana using a 60% corn / 36% rye / 4% barley mash bill.
Aged roughly 4+ years, using barrels matured on top floors in their Las Vegas warehouse. Bottled undiluted and non–chill-filtered, preserving maximum character.
Bottled at 58.35% ABV (116.7 proof).
Aromatic and lively: candied fruit, sweet corn bread, and nutty vanilla dominate initially. Undertones of cinnamon spice and oak char develop with airing.
Some reviewers note hints of pecan pie, with subtle bitterness indicating youthful bourbon influence.
Medium-bodied and noticeable in its spice delivery: fruit-forward sweetness of honey and toffee transitions into rye spice, cinnamon, and light oak tannin.
Creamy mouthfeel enhances richness and softens proof, creating surprisingly gentle texture for its strength.
The finish is short to medium, marked by a quick burst of bright berries, cinnamon heat, and residual oak spice. Although intense mid-palate, it fades cleanly.

Reddit reviewers describe:
“Fruit forward with tons of candy flavor notes… bold cinnamon spice… buttery and creamy, drinking more delicately than one would think.”

Best served neat in a Glencairn or over a single large ice cube to soften heat and release aroma.
Pair with spiced desserts (like pecan pie), dark chocolate, or smoked nuts—rich flavors that mirror its sweet-spice oak profile.
