Description

Aptly named 'Contradiction', this release from Smooth Ambler sees the skilful blending of two whiskeys. One is a ‘wheater’, or wheated Bourbon and the other is a Bourbon made with rye. The 2 mashbills comprise 60% corn, 20% wheat, 20% malted barley and 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley.

Priding themselves on presenting high quality products, Smooth Ambler has a knack for handcrafting, selecting and then blending excellent spirits. Contradiction is the opportunity to enjoy their masterful creation in a single sip, the convergence of those two very different efforts.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: hints of sweet wheat, rye spice, baking spices, green apples, dried fruit, and young wood are present. Overall the nose is pleasant


Taste: The youthful wheat component of the bourbon pops out on first sip. New oak, corn, bubble gum, hints of dark chocolate, and slight amounts of vanilla and honey are present along with a healthy dose of rye spice.Spicy upfront and dry in the back, the finish tastes like twist on a version of your typical MGP rye based bourbon. Heavy rye spice, charred oak, and light vanilla all make an immediate appearance. This is followed by leather and a lot of aged oak to cap it off.
