Description
🥃 OLD SCOUT SMOOTH AMBLER CASK STRENGTH (58.1%)
Alcohol Percentage (ABV): 58.1% (Varies slightly by barrel)2
Taste & Flavor Profile: Bottled at cask strength, this high-proof bourbon delivers a bold and complex experience.3 The profile is driven by its high-rye mashbill, offering initial flavors of sweet honey, caramel, and vanilla fudge, which are quickly balanced by a surge of spicy cinnamon, licorice/fennel, and dark cherry notes. The mouthfeel is full and velvety, leading to a long, powerful finish of toasted oak, dark chocolate, and a pleasant, lingering peppery spice.
Key Details: Old Scout is the “scouted out” brand from Smooth Ambler Spirits in West Virginia, meaning the whiskey is sourced (historically from MGP in Indiana).4 This is a Single Barrel bottling, meaning the flavor profile is unique to that one barrel, and it is released at Cask Strength (undiluted) and is Non-Chill Filtered.5 These factors ensure an undiluted, intense, and highly sought-after expression of classic high-rye bourbon.
