Yet another astonishing single barrel release from Smooth Ambler's Old Scout range.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Waffles covered in maple syrup, tobacco, a crackle of black pepper and a hint of forest floor.
Palate
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.
Finish
Lasting rye warmth and honeyed cereal.
