ON THE SUPERIOR SHELF
On the Superior Shelf: Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whiskey
Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whiskey: 70 proof, 35% ABV, 750 ml, Iron Smoke’s Fairport label and a photographed $36.99 shelf price.
The pig on the label, and the facts underneath
Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whiskey announces itself with a pig engraving, a parchment-colored label and a wooden stopper. Beneath the product name, the front reads maple flavored whiskey. Along the lower edge are the useful numbers: 750 ml, 35% ABV and 70 proof.
This is a Shelf Journal record of the photographed bottle and price tag. The flavor name is a product description, not a tasting verdict from Superior Whiskey.

Made by Iron Smoke in Fairport, New York
The rear label identifies Iron Smoke Whiskey, LLC, Fairport, NY beneath “distilled and bottled by.” It describes a corn-whiskey recipe with maple syrup from upstate New York and natural flavors. Fairport is the production location named on this bottle; it is not evidence of where the store photographs were taken.
Corn whiskey on this bottle; bourbon on the current webpage
Iron Smoke’s official product page, checked on 23 October 2026, agrees on 750 ml, 35% ABV and 70 proof. It describes the Maple Bacon recipe as using bourbon whiskey, upstate New York maple syrup and natural flavors.
The supplied rear label instead says corn whiskey. We retain that wording for this bottle and attribute the webpage description separately. The available evidence does not establish whether the difference reflects a recipe change, a packaging revision or marketing terminology. We have not assigned this bottle a release year, age or mash-bill percentage.
The photographed $36.99 shelf tag
The store tag names Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whiskey, lists 750ML and displays Our Price: $36.99. Its product name and bottle size agree with the bottle shown here.
The “consistent low prices” banner belongs to the store tag; it is not a price comparison by Superior Whiskey. No retailer identity, sale, current availability or checkout price is confirmed by these photographs.
Sources and further reading
The three contributor-supplied original photographs establish the bottle labeling and shelf tag. Originals remain private. All public bottle and tag images are disclosed AI retouches; fine print and machine-readable codes can change during retouching, so we use the originals as evidence.
The Iron Smoke product page corroborates the bottle’s strength and size and supplies the separately attributed bourbon-base description. This feature contains no independent tasting notes or score.
For another maple-related bottle with a different production description, see Hudson Short Stack Rye, whose label names a maple-syrup-barrel finish. Explore more bottle labels and shelf observations in the Superior Whiskey Journal.
Sources checked on 23 October 2026. Three photographs supplied on 23 October 2026. Retailer, exact store location and capture date unconfirmed. Original store photographs remain private; public images are cleaned AI-retouched illustrations. Facts were read from the originals. The bottle’s corn-whiskey wording differs from the current producer webpage’s bourbon description; that distinction is explained in this entry.
