American Whiskey
Smooth Ambler
Greenbrier, WV
$45
28% bourbon, 72% American whiskey
Nose
Butterscotch, caramel, deep vanilla bean, creamy notes, cereal notes reminiscent of plain Cheerios, some ethanol burn at 107 proof, minimal fruit
Palate
Buttery, butterscotch, hot buttered popcorn, nuttiness, viscous and creamy texture like pouring cream over Cheerios, intense heat that drinks hotter than its proof, super sweet with a big kick
Finish
Long and lingering, coats the mouth with sugar, memorable and persistent
Noteworthy
A buttery, butterscotch-forward blended whiskey with impressive heat and sweetness that offers exceptional value at $45 and stands out as a quality departure from standard bourbon offerings.
