5 and 6 year old barrels with a high rye content of 36%, this fine whiskey has exceptional taste and smoothness. Non chill filtered, non carbon filtered. A robust 99 proof, it’s strong, but deliciously drinkable like all of Smooth Ambler’s offerings. Bold, sweet-spicy flavors with subtle apple, cherry and tobacco aroma.

Tasting notes

Due to its significant rye content, Old Scout presents sweet and slightly spicy notes with very faint notes of apple, cherry and a hint of pipe tobacco. The benefit of extended aging is particularly highlighted in the long, smooth finish.

Review

“bright mix of soft cinnamon candy, spearmint, eucalyptus, sweet almond extract, juicy fruit gum, and punchy rye and oak” Jason Pyle, Sour Mash Manifesto

Technical notes

(99°) A blend of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malt, Smooth Ambler sourced this six year old small batch Bourbon, aged it in heavily charred casks, and bottled it non-chill filtered and non-carbon filtered to retain maximum flavor and mouthfeel.
