Yet another astonishing single barrel release from Smooth Ambler's Old Scout range. These single barrel bottlings are absolutely brilliant - the folks at Smooth Ambler clearly have immense skill at sniffing out excellent barrels. This one is a 12 year old bourbon, bottled at 47.1% ABV. It's punchy, rye-rich and generally fantastic.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Waffles covered in maple syrup, tobacco, a crackle of black pepper and a hint of forest floor.
More maple syrup, with blackberries and fudge in support. Peppery heat continues, joined by cedar and sandalwood. Dark chocolate tucked away underneath all of it.
Lasting rye warmth and honeyed cereal.
Deep complex right amount heat don’t add water though
Wow great flavor
This stuff is magic, I usually go for the higher proof stuff but nothing is amiss here. Brilliant nose and palate, not the longest finish but so good anyways
