Smoke Wagon 12 Year Chip's Liquor Private Selection Barrel #5879

Barrel #5879 is a twelve-year Smoke Wagon single barrel picked for Chips Liquor — desert-aged MGP high-rye bourbon bottled uncut at 114.7 proof. Aaron Chepenik and Jonathan Hensleigh founded Nevada H&C Distilling in Las Vegas in 2012, sourcing 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley bourbon from MGP in Indiana and aging and blending it in the Mojave heat; their twelve-year private barrels are among the most sought-after single barrels in American whiskey, and the retailers who get them are few. #5879 is twelve-year MGP high-rye bourbon from one barrel, bottled uncut and unfiltered at 114.7 proof, selected by Chips Liquor — a fuller-proof sibling to the James Madison Barrel. Expect twelve years of Indiana rye bourbon concentrated by the desert at real strength: a dense nose of old oak, leather, dark caramel, and dried cherry with cinnamon, a rich, chewy palate of toffee, tobacco, clove, and stewed fruit with tannin and heat, and a very long, dry, spiced finish. Honest note: twelve-year Smoke Wagon at 114 proof from a single barrel is the bottle Smoke Wagon fans drive across state lines for — this one exists only here, and when it's gone, it's gone. Neat, a drop of water, slowly. Smoke Wagon, #5879, ours.
