Superb bourbon here from Smooth Ambler's exceptional Old Scout range, selected by those Drinks by the Dram folks! This expression was matured for five years, and has been bottled up at cask strength – a robust 59.6% ABV. The Old Scout range is how Smooth Ambler released the sourced whiskeys that the team gets its hands on, and we know from experience that they're often spectacular spirits, packed to the brim with character. Don't miss out on this one!
Cinnamon gum, brown sugar, coffee, cracked black pepper, liquorice, Crunchie Bars.
Still has that black pepper warmth to it, mellowed by waves of marmalade, Dairy Milk, and honey.
Spiced hot chocolate, toasted sugar, and hickory.

Looking back at my notes I gave it a high score from a sample I had. maybe in my top 15, will revisit this to confirm.
Average at best. Lacks the smoothness and complexity of the original Old Scout batches of Bourbon.
