House Review
-
Intro:
This is a single barrel release from Smooth Ambler. Bottled at cask strength from sourced MGP distillate.
-
Nose:
A good bit of ethanol. Some vanilla, allspice and molasses under that alcohol nose.
-
Taste:
Oak, some mild char, vanilla and more ethanol. The 8yr Rye was stronger proof wise and let almost none of its alcohol show through relative to this.
-
Finish:
Long and hot. More wood and molasses.
-
Overall:
This was mediocre. Not bad, but very heavy ethanol covered most of the good notes here.
-
Score:
