A Smoky Twist on a Kansas Classic

Our Smoked Straight Bourbon starts with the same beloved bourbon that has made our Straight Bourbon a tasting room favorite. What sets it apart is our unique smoking process — we bottle this bourbon in a hickory-smoked vessel, allowing it to gain a mellowed, inviting smoky character without losing the rich qualities of the original.

The result is a bourbon that satisfies both smoke lovers and traditional bourbon drinkers. The hickory smoke integrates seamlessly with the caramel and oak flavors of the bourbon, creating something greater than the sum of its parts.

Hand-Smoked with a Culinary Smoker

While the mash bill remains the same as our Straight Bourbon — corn, malted barley, and rye — this special edition is gently hand-smoked with hickory wood using a culinary smoker. Each bottle is individually smoked before being filled, imparting a subtle smokiness that adds aromatic depth, almost as if the bourbon has been aged longer, giving it a richer, more nuanced profile.

Perfect Pairings

Smoked Straight Bourbon is exceptional alongside grilled meats and barbecue — the hickory notes in the bourbon complement the char and smoke of the grill. It's also a natural fit for a smoked Old Fashioned with a flamed orange peel.

For a unique Manhattan variation, substitute our Smoked Straight Bourbon for the traditional bourbon and add a bar spoon of maple syrup. The result is a cocktail that's smoky, sweet, and utterly memorable.
