Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel Rye 5 Year hails from West Virginia, a region known for its high-quality spirits. This rye whiskey, aged for five years, showcases the meticulous care taken in its production, with a focus on traditional distillation methods that highlight the rich Appalachian heritage.
On the palate, this whiskey reveals bold, spicy notes typical of rye, with layers of cinnamon, black pepper, and clove. These spices are balanced by subtle undertones of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of dried fruit, resulting in a well-rounded and complex flavor profile. Made from a mash bill that emphasizes a high rye content, its ingredients contribute to a distinct, peppery bite, with a robust 57.1% ABV adding to its intensity.
This whiskey is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its intricate flavors. The warmth and depth of this rye make it an excellent choice for sipping on cooler evenings or for those looking to experience the bold character of a well-aged, single-barrel rye.
