Just got back from the store and picked these two up. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/02/full-636-334904-4f05e17b_ce62_492a_8970_926b91cbfae7.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/02/full-636-334905-3dcbae18_0e2f_48b9_a045_c73806eb5174.jpeg) Thought I'd try something new. Anyone had this before?

They both look interesting. Let us know how they taste.
To be determined

I have had Smoke Wagon, it was good. I was hoping to have it to sip on for a while, but I took it to the ranch and they polished it off in an evening.
I have seen Bakers on the shelf but never bought it. I'll wait for the review.

Bakers is one of the premium brands from Jim Beam/Suntory. I’d drink it over a bunch of things people talk about on here...
Smoke wagon is some of the best whiskey MGPI produces and is bottled in Las Vegas... it’s great also and pretty hard to find so.... congrats on that one!
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Stick with Scottish and Canadian. That’s where I’d start.

The smoke wagon is pretty good. Bakers wasn’t bad either.

I’d love to say that American whiskeys are better, but it just isn’t so. I won’t apologize for being honest.

The Bakers is good but in my opinion the lowest level of their 4 small batch whiskeys. Don’t confuse these with Jim Beam, even if it is the same company.
Booker’s
Knob Creek 120
Basil Haden’s
Baker’s
In that order in my opinion.
Haven’t tried the smoke wagon or much of anything lately. I’m falling behind.

Bakers 7 year is good, not Smoke Wagon small batch good but tolerable.
Smells kinda like fresh paint, seriously.
Taste is heavy cask though nose at first with a touch of vanilla in the end. Not bad.

I'll drink, pretty much any Bourbon once to try it out. Just so long as it's not driveway cleaner, in a square bottle..
