Smooth Ambler Old Scout 10 Year Old Bourbon
(0.75l, 50%)
The smooth passion.
Born in 2008 from a TIME Magazine piece about the rise of craft Spirits, Smooth Ambler was a passion project created by Tag Galyean and John Little. Based proudly in Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia, along with the Appalachian mountain range, these Americans take their distilling very seriously. Using state of the art equipment and only the finest of natural, locally sourced ingredients, the Smooth Ambler product is nothing to be balked at.
Smooth Ambler Spirits is a 5,200 square-foot warehouse right on the outskirts of Greenbrier County. The facility boasts a 500-gallon Christian Carl copper-pot still imported from Germany. That's a lot of fire-power.
Smooth Ambler Old Scout 10 Year Old Bourbon is 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley, which gives this Bourbon a spicy kick. Aged for at least ten years in new, American oak casks, it’s cut to proof with pure mountain spring water that's filtered through Mississippian geologic-era limestone. The result is a mineral, earthy Bourbon, balanced by hints of sweet, roasted corn, vanilla, and oak.

The temperatures of American warehouses are much higher, so the pace of maturation is much quicker for Bourbons than for Scotch Whiskies

Ratings & Reviews
Ro,
Great bourbon that unfortunately is no longer being made.
Anthony,
nose: oak, lots of apple, cinnamon, buttery pie crust, spice; with water got leatherm tobacco and cherry notes
palate: medium body, not too spicy, some candied apples
finish: very spicy, with applie pie (apple, spice, cinnamon, buttery toast), some oak. water brings out the cherry
overall: very impressive. i can see why smooth ambler gets a lot of praise for their bourbons
Katherine,
I can't say anything more about this bourbon then the taster who wrote about the tobacco death, so just reference that review. That Nails it.
Antti,
s an good sipping bourbon with a birth of spicy oak & honey; a coconut filled life that leads to a long, spicy tobacco death.
guest,
Possibly the smoothest drinking whiskey I've ever tasted. Heavy caramel flavor and warmth, without heavy bite. Dangerously sippable.
