Two James Johnny Smoking Gun Whiskey

Johnny Smoking Gun is the most conceptually original whiskey Two James has ever produced — and one of the most genuinely unusual bottles available anywhere in American spirits. A story of East-meets-West, this whiskey was crafted specifically to complement the umami of rich Japanese pork and fish broths, making it possibly the only American whiskey ever designed with Japanese cuisine pairing as its primary purpose. A blend of 70% seven-year corn whiskey and 30% young rye, the smoke character comes not from charred wood or peated grain but from a two-stage maceration with a proprietary blend of Asian teas — a process unlike anything else in American whiskey production. The nose delivers a sweet and smoky bouquet with notes of leather and tobacco, while the palate opens with corn and vanilla sweetness before hints of campfire and spicy rye emerge — finishing full of tobacco, leather, and toasted oak. The palate is a weird but wonderful jab of sweet tea, honey, and mild oranges with an unmistakably oriental character that cannot be overemphasized. Bottled at 43.5% ABV — sip it neat alongside Japanese food, on the rocks, or use it as the base for the most interesting Highball you've ever built.
