Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon 70cl Whisky
Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon
Contradiction is an apt name for this tasty bourbon from West Virginia's Smooth Ambler. It's made with a blend of sourced old rye-heavy bourbon and younger wheated bourbon made by the Smooth Ambler folks themselves! Combined, these two whiskeys have created a harmonious bourbon packed full of chocolatey, honey-rich bourbon.
Smooth Ambler made a change to Contradiction in mid-2018, with the bottling strength being reduced from 50% to 46% - it most certainly remains simply stunning stuff.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Aromas of oak, runny honey, clove and fragrant allspice, with a lovely combo of brown sugar and cocoa.
Palate
Initially soft with touches of sweet and sticky honey and molasses, though gradually builds to stronger spicy notes.
Finish
Long, spicy, sweet and oaky.
