Don’t Miss this Incredible Bourbon from Smooth Ambler.
Our resident Spirits experts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich joined Smooth Ambler’s founder and Whiskey maker John Little and Smooth Ambler’s distiller Andrew Robinson for a guided tasting of Bourbon barrel samples. Smooth Ambler was started 12 years ago and is located in West Virginia. It helped establish the craft Whiskey industry in America and continues to produce sought-after Bourbons and Ryes.
Our barrel pickers tried three different six-year-old Bourbons, which were all made from a mash bill (the base grains) of 60 percent corn, 36 percent rye and 4 percent malted barley. They were then aged in heavily charred new oak barrels. Despite the whiskies being made at roughly the same time, maturing in the same kind of barrel and being the same age and proof, they tasted completely different. So it wasn’t an easy decision but Rothbaum and Wondrich chose a delicious Bourbon that they both really enjoyed drinking.
One of the things that impressed our tasters was the incredible note of hot buttered popcorn on the nose of this Whiskey. This unique aroma no doubt was caused in part by the high percentage of corn in the mashbill. It’s a beautiful sipping Bourbon with rich sweet, baking spice and wood notes, which reflects the large amount of rye that it’s made from.
