At Smooth Ambler, after they began merchant bottling the whiskey they call Old Scout, it occurred to them that at some point it may be fun and interesting to blend a little of the delicious bourbon they source with the smooth and sweet wheated bourbon still distilled here in West Virginia. Bottled at 50% ABV.
With that notion in mind, Contradiction was born; a blend of whiskey they make with whiskey they do not. Contradiction is non-chill filtered and is full-bodied, with notes of dried fruit and butter rum, and has the end-result of tasting like a four-grain bourbon.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Full of oak, dried cherries, vanilla, and cinnamon creating a signature mature bourbon.
Palate:Sweet from the wheat and spice from the rye and a bit of leather.
Finish:Its viscosity creates a smooth and pleasant finish.
