Smoke Wagon Triple Sevens Rare & Limited Bourbon 750ML

Smoke Wagon Triple Sevens Rare & Limited Bourbon 750ML is a limited-release straight bourbon bottled at 108 proof (54% ABV) in a 750ml format. What distinguishes this expression is its blend of three distinct seven-year-old mash bills sourced from MGP of Indiana, with only 1,600 bottles produced — marking the first rare and limited release from the Smoke Wagon line in two years.

Quick Facts: ABV: 54% (108 Proof)  |  Origin: Distilled in Indiana, Bottled in Las Vegas, Nevada  |  Age: 7 Years  |  Bottler: Nevada H&C Distilling Company

Production & Heritage

Smoke Wagon is a brand owned and operated by Nevada H&C Distilling Company, based in Las Vegas. The Triple Sevens expression sources all of its whiskey from MGP (Midwest Grain Products) in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, one of the most prolific contract distilleries in American whiskey. What sets this release apart is its blending architecture: three separate mash bills — a 60% corn / 36% rye / 4% malt, a 51% corn / 39% rye / 10% malt, and a rye-forward 51% rye / 45% corn / 4% malt — each aged a full seven years, then married together. The result is a bourbon that layers traditional corn sweetness against assertive rye spice, bottled at a muscular 108 proof without chill filtration.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Caramel and vanilla arrive first, followed by toasted oak and baking spice. A faint dried-fruit sweetness lingers underneath, adding depth to the nose without dominating it.

Taste: The entry is rich with toffee and brown sugar, giving way to a mid-palate surge of cinnamon, black pepper, and rye-leaning spice. The high rye content across all three mash bills keeps the sweetness honest, preventing it from veering into cloying territory. At 108 proof, the intensity is present but well-integrated.

Finish: Warming and medium-long, fading through charred oak, clove, and a lightly bittersweet cocoa note. The rye spice reasserts itself late, providing a dry, lingering close that invites the next sip.

How to Drink Triple Sevens

At 108 proof, a few drops of water open up the blend considerably, revealing subtleties in the dried fruit and baking spice that the full-proof pour keeps tightly wound. Neat or with a single ice cube are both strong approaches for appreciating the three-mash-bill complexity. In cocktails, the proof and spice profile carry well: an Old Fashioned benefits from the toffee and oak backbone; a Boulevardier gains structure from the rye-forward character against Campari's bitterness; and a Gold Rush lets the brown sugar and cinnamon notes play against honey and lemon.

• Gifting a bourbon enthusiast who appreciates high-proof, age-stated whiskey

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Triple Sevens taste like? Triple Sevens delivers a rich combination of toffee, brown sugar, and cinnamon spice, balanced by charred oak and a bittersweet cocoa finish. The high rye content across its three blended mash bills gives it a pronounced spice character that tempers the sweetness.

How does Triple Sevens compare to Remus Repeal Reserve? Both are MGP-sourced bourbons built around multi-mash-bill blending, but Triple Sevens runs hotter at 108 proof versus Remus Repeal Reserve's typical 100 proof and uses a triple-mash-bill blend that includes a rye-dominant component. The Remus line tends toward a rounder, more approachable profile, while Triple Sevens leans into spice and intensity.

Is Triple Sevens good for sipping neat? Yes — the seven-year age statement and careful blending of three mash bills produce a layered, complex pour that rewards slow, neat sipping. A few drops of water can help tame the 108-proof heat for those sensitive to higher-proof bourbon.

Where is Triple Sevens made? The whiskey is distilled at MGP (Midwest Grain Products) in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and blended and bottled by Nevada H&C Distilling Company in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What foods pair well with Triple Sevens? Smoked brisket or pulled pork complements the charred oak and spice; dark chocolate truffles mirror the cocoa finish; pecan pie echoes the toffee and brown sugar notes; aged cheddar contrasts the sweetness with savory sharpness; and cinnamon-dusted churros amplify the baking spice character.

What sizes does Triple Sevens come in? Smoke Wagon Triple Sevens Rare & Limited Bourbon is available in the standard 750ml bottle size.

Is Triple Sevens worth the price? Triple Sevens positions as a premium limited-release bourbon, justified by its seven-year age statement, 108-proof bottling strength, three-mash-bill blending complexity, and a production run of only 1,600 bottles. For collectors and enthusiasts who value MGP-sourced age-stated bourbon, it represents strong value within the limited-release tier.

Why Triple Sevens?

The defining feature of this release is its triple-mash-bill construction — few bourbon brands attempt to marry three distinct grain recipes at a uniform seven-year age into a single bottle. That blending ambition, combined with a limited run of just 1,600 bottles and a barrel-strength-adjacent 108 proof, places Triple Sevens in rare company among MGP-sourced releases. The Smoke Wagon brand has built a reputation on careful barrel selection and blending skill rather than owning its own distillate, and this expression represents the peak of that philosophy. For drinkers who want to understand what skilled blending can achieve with well-aged MGP stock, Triple Sevens is a compelling case study in a glass.
