This expression of Smooth Ambler Scout has been around for 7 years, representing the distillery's commitment to "scouting" for and bottling only the most outstanding whiskies. Crafted with a high-rye mash bill of 60% Corn, 36% Rye, and 4% Malted Barley, it is bottled non-chill filtered and non-carbon filtered to preserve its full, unadulterated character and rich mouthfeel. This dedication ensures that the bold essence of an excellent bourbon shines through.

The whiskey presents a captivating copper-gold hue. You'll discover a complex blend of tobacco, sweet apple, and cherry pipe tobacco on the nose, underscored by hints of spicy rye and oak. The palate delivers bold, sweet, and tangy flavors, with interwining notes of caramel, cinnamon, and a subtle richness. The benefit of its extended aging is particularly evident in the long, smooth finish, which unfolds with hints of baking spices, sweet almond extract, and a touch of eucalyptus. Exceptionally drinkable for its proof, this Smooth Ambler selection can be savored neat to appreciate its depth or serve as a remarkable base for a truly elevated cocktail.
