A Considered Pick｜ Other Products ｜Smoke Wagon 12 Year "The James Madison Barrel" Chip's Liquor Private Selection

The James Madison Barrel is a twelve-year Smoke Wagon single barrel picked for Chips Liquor — a short barrel from warehouse WG3, #5599, that yielded only forty-five bottles at 108.8 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 desert takes a brutal share — this barrel gave up so much to evaporation that forty-five bottles were all that came out. It's twelve-year MGP high-rye bourbon from a single barrel, bottled uncut and unfiltered at 108.8 proof, selected by Chips Liquor and named for the barrel's character. Expect twelve years of Indiana rye bourbon concentrated by the desert: a dense nose of old oak, leather, dark caramel, and dried cherry, a rich, chewy palate of toffee, tobacco, baking spice, and stewed fruit with real tannin, and a very long, dry, spiced finish. Honest note: forty-five bottles of twelve-year Smoke Wagon exist from this barrel and every one is here — one of the rarest things in the store, for the Smoke Wagon collector and the age hunter. Neat, in a Glencairn, slowly.
