Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon

Sometimes Dr. Jekyll, sometimes Mr. Hyde.

Smooth Ambler is the second Spirit producer that references walking and we’re sure you won’t walk away from this bottle unimpressed. Deep in the Appalachian hills where natural spring waters flow and fresh mountain air… well, floats (?), a team of Whiskey-loving friends established a state-of-the-art distillery. They produce vodka and gin, but also mature hundreds of barrels of Whiskey. When the time of bottling comes, the entire community joins in and everyone signs their own bottle.

The only contradiction found in this Bourbon is in its name, because this Spirit is bound to agree with many. It’s a blend of 3 Straight Bourbon Whiskeys: one from their backyard in West Virginia (71% corn, 21% wheat, and 8% malted barley), one from Indiana (75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley), and even one from Tennessee (84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley). An unlikely combo of mash bills, but it more than works as tasty flavors of baking spices and pecan pie lead into a creamy finish. Bottled at an ideal 92 proof, this blended creation works wonderfully whether you sip it neat, on the rocks, or mix it up in a cocktail.

*Smooth Ambler has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.
