About Smoke Wagon Malted Straight Rye Whiskey
Smoke Wagon Malted Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold, cask-strength rye whiskey distinguished by its unique 51% rye and 49% malted barley mash bill. This unconventional blend creates a spirit that bridges traditional rye spice with the creamy sweetness and malty character typically found in Scotch whisky. The malted barley component adds viscosity and complexity, resulting in a whiskey that appeals to those seeking something beyond standard rye profiles. At $67.98 for 750ml, it offers excellent value for a cask-strength expression. This is ideal for whiskey enthusiasts who appreciate experimental grain bills and don't mind trading some traditional rye grain character for added sweetness and malty depth.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens with prominent honey sweetness and caramel, complemented by bright citrus notes like lemon and cinnamon raisin bread aromas. Springtime florals and a hint of youthfulness round out the bouquet, creating a complex and inviting initial impression.
👅 Palate
The palate delivers a harmonious balance of sweet and spicy flavors, with Christmas fruitcake spice notes, fennel, allspice, ginger, and mint taking center stage. The malted barley adds significant viscosity and honeyed sweetness, while hints of fresh Granny Smith apples suggest the spirit's relative youth, and oak provides structural support.
✨ Finish
The finish lingers with orchard fruits, drying oak, and honeyed-sweetness reminiscent of a caramel apple. Cinnamon spice and black pepper from the rye combine with smoky, malty, and slightly iron-fortified flavors that evoke a non-peated Scotch more than a traditional rye whiskey.
