Yes. But do visit the website:

http://www.colgin.com/public/lsfaq.aspx

Ingredients on the bottle:

Water, Natural Hickory smoke flavor, vinegar, Molasses, Caramel
coloring, Salt.

From what I understand of the process, they bubble wood smoke thru water
to extract the flavor.

My other flavor that I buy is Mesquite.

There is a third flavor of Colgin locally but I can't recall what it was
at the moment. There may be more on their website.
