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.

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
