Smooth Ambler, Old Scout, Cask #24287, BBR Exclusive Cask, Straight Bourbon Whiskey, USA (58.9%)

Caramel (Riesen toffee) and carraway seed, spiced nose.? Clove, cinnamon and baking spices combined with the caramel and dark chocolate – make this a smooth and yet spicy number.? A menthol finish that heats the palate with the rye spice, black peppercorn and tobacco.? Smooth – belying its high ABV. Add a touch of water if you’d like those caramel notes to come to the fore.? If this is a sign of things to come, I cannot wait until we start getting the 7+ year bourbons from “Old Scout”, again.? A deliciously smooth & spicy Bourbon.
