Smith & Wesson 7 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750mL)

Smith & Wesson 7 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750mL) — 7 Year | 96 Proof | American Straight Bourbon

American heritage meets mature bourbon character in Smith & Wesson 7 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a distinctive age-stated American whiskey inspired by one of the most recognizable names in American manufacturing.

Aged a full 7 years in new charred American oak barrels, this Straight Bourbon develops a rich combination of caramel, vanilla, maple, toasted oak, roasted pecans, brown sugar, dark fruit, cinnamon, leather, and baking spice.

Seven years provides enough time for the whiskey to develop substantial barrel character without allowing the oak to completely overwhelm the sweeter side of the spirit.

The result is a classic American bourbon profile: sweet at the beginning, rich and nutty through the middle, and increasingly oak-driven and spicy toward the finish.

Bottled at a robust 48% ABV (96 Proof), Smith & Wesson 7 Year has enough strength to deliver a full-bodied sipping experience while remaining approachable neat, over a large cube, or in a classic whiskey cocktail.

🥃 A Genuine 7-Year Age Statement

One of the most important details on this bottle is the 7 Year age statement.

In American whiskey, an age statement represents the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle.

That means Smith & Wesson 7 Year isn't simply a blend with a small amount of older whiskey added for marketing purposes.

The bourbon carrying this age statement has spent at least seven years maturing in oak.

That extended maturation gives the spirit significantly more time to interact with its new charred American oak barrels.

Through seasonal temperature changes, whiskey repeatedly moves into and out of the barrel staves, extracting flavor, color, and aroma from the wood.

After seven years, that interaction creates the mature combination of caramelized sweetness, vanilla, roasted nuts, spice, leather, and seasoned oak found throughout this bourbon.

🥃 New Charred American Oak

As a Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Smith & Wesson is matured in new charred oak containers.

The heavily toasted and charred interior of the barrel plays a major role in creating the bourbon's character.

American oak contributes classic flavors including:

Vanilla

Caramel

Brown Sugar

Maple

Toasted Nuts

Baking Spice

Oak

As maturation continues, deeper flavors begin to emerge.

In this 7 Year expression, those sweeter characteristics are joined by dark fruit, roasted pecan, leather, cinnamon, black pepper, and toasted almond.

The result is a profile that feels noticeably more mature than a younger everyday bourbon.

🥃 96 Proof

Smith & Wesson 7 Year is bottled at 96 Proof (48% ABV).

That additional strength helps preserve the whiskey's body and allows its seven years of barrel character to remain prominent.

At full strength, expect greater emphasis on oak, caramel, roasted nuts, pepper, and spice.

Adding several drops of water can soften the oak and reveal additional layers of vanilla, maple, honey, brown sugar, and dark fruit.

For drinkers who prefer bourbon over ice, the 96-proof bottling strength also gives the whiskey enough structure to withstand gradual dilution.

🥃 American Heritage-Inspired Presentation

The Smith & Wesson name dates to 1852 and has become closely associated with American manufacturing history.

The bourbon's presentation draws heavily from that heritage.

Its vintage-inspired label incorporates portrait imagery, ornate detailing, and prominent Smith & Wesson branding, giving the bottle an appearance designed to stand out on a whiskey shelf or home bar.

That combination of an established American heritage name, a genuine 7-year age statement, and distinctive packaging gives this release particular appeal as both a sipping bourbon and conversation-piece bottle.
