Brand History: The Spirit of the Old West
Smoke Wagon is the passion project of Master Blender Aaron Chepenik and Jonathan Hensleigh. Operating out of Las Vegas, they have gained a massive cult following by sourcing some of the finest high-rye bourbon barrels from MGP in Indiana and masterfully blending them to create a bold, complex, and spicy profile that evokes the rebellious spirit of the Old West. The brand's iconic silver dollar logo and antique bottle design are a nod to this heritage, and their limited editions are some of the most sought-after releases in American whiskey.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What does "bibamus, moriendum est" mean?
A: It is a Latin phrase that translates to "Let us drink, for we must die." It's a classic expression reminding us to enjoy life's pleasures, similar to "carpe diem."
Q: Does the label really glow in the dark?
A: Yes, the iconic Smoke Wagon skeleton on this limited-edition bottle is designed with special ink that glows in the dark after being exposed to light, making it a perfect addition to any Halloween celebration.
