Smooth Ambler

 



Smooth Ambler Big Level Wheated Bourbon...$49.99

Compare to $54.99 at Total Wine and More St. Louis
(100 Proof)
Big Level Bourbon is a wheated bourbon 100% mashed, distilled, aged, proofed, and bottled at the Smooth Ambler distillery in West Virginia. No chill filtration.
Mashbill: 71% Corn, 21% Wheat, 8% Malted Barley
Aging:  5+YO spirit, aged in #4 char 53-gallon barrel
Tasting Notes:
Toffee and pancake batter on the nose. With pleasant warmth in the mid-palate. Lingering finish. Lots of pecan pie.




Smooth Ambler Contradiction...$37.99
Compare to $47.99 at Total Wine and More St. Louis
Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies
92 Proof
At Smooth Ambler, after we began merchant bottling the whiskey we call Old Scout, it occurred to us that at some point it may be fun and interesting to blend a little of the delicious bourbon we source with the smooth and sweet wheated bourbon we distill here in West Virginia. With that notion in mind, Contradiction was born; a blend of whiskey we make with whiskey we 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.
Mashbill: Merchant bottled bourbon made with corn, rye and malted barley married with homemade bourbon made with corn, wheat and malted barley.
Distillation Process: Continuous column distillation and pot distillation.
Aging: A blend of different straight whiskeys, there are different ages represented in Contradiction. The majority whiskey is more than 9 years in age.







Smooth Ambler Old Scout Bourbon...$34.99
Compare to $35.99 at Total Wine and More
Old Scout Bourbon, bottled at 99 proof, is a high-rye recipe bourbon sourced from Indiana. Straight bourbon whiskey, it is blended in limited, hand-selected batches without chill-filtration, and enjoys the bold character we think excellent bourbon should deliver.
• Mashbill: 60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Malt. A high-rye bourbon.
• Distillation Process: Continuous column distillation.
• Aging: Approximately 5 years old, non-chill filtered.
• Source of grains:Grains from a variety of sources.
• Annual Production: 8,000 cases.
• Tasting Notes: Sweet and smooth, with notes of butterscotch, leather and cherry pipe tobacco, it is exceptionally drinkable and enjoys the bold character we think excellent bourbon should deliver.

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel American Whiskey



Another single barrel chosen by TWCP!



Our next single barrel!
Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel American Whiskey...$37.99
  • 107 Proof
  • 174 bottles produced
  • Barrel No. 10663
The Wine and Cheese Place Single Barrel


2 Whiskies from a Bourbon mash bill
5yr-6yr TN Whiskey
10-11yr IN Bourbon 36% rye bourbon (same mash bill as Old Scout Single Barrel)
Laid back and barrel rested together for since February 2018 (about a 16 months)
Bottled at 107 proof
Non Chill Filtered

Old Scout American Whiskey is a union of two whiskies distilled from classic bourbon mash bills. One is aged in new oak barrels and the other matures in rejuvenated, re-charred bourbon casks. While this unique aging excuses the marriage from being called bourbon, it shares all of the character and drinkability you would expect from a whiskey on the brink of being one.

Like the other Old Scout whiskeys, it is blended in limited, hand selected batches and without chill filtration.
Mashbill: A blend of 9+ YO 36% rye bourbon (same mash bill as Old Scout Single Barrel) and 5+ YO whiskey distilled from a bourbon mash from TN, aged in re-charred “rejuvenated barrels”.

Thanksgiving is coming!

Thanksgiving is coming!!!
As I have mentioned many times in the past Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday and certainly my favorite wine holiday. But let's not focus just on Thursday with family often in town all week, or at least from Wednesday through the weekend you are going to need drinks at the ready for at least 5 days. My family usually kicks off the festivities on Wednesday night and goes strong through the weekend, then hitting the running trail of course on Thursday morning to make room for dinner. Below is what I have planned for the week(end) of great drinks, others will take care of the food" -- Aaron, wine manager (Forsyth location)


Wednesday:
A simple meal is best for Wednesday, people are often traveling or just getting off work around dinner time. We usually have roast tenderloin, as the main with a simple salad and roasted vegetables on the side. Start things off on the right foot with Sparkling Wine/Champagne, remember don't save the best for last, enjoy that special bottle of Champagne early on and finish off with some solid Sparklers from outside of Champagne or a nice glass of whiskey.

A few options...
2006 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blanc $139.98 (97/100 Wine Spectator)
NV Joel Falmet Brut Rose $49.99
NV Joel Falmet Brut $39.99
NV Roederer Estate Anderson Valley $19.99 (93/100 Wine Spectator)
NV Collin Cremant de Limoux Rose $19.99

Starlight Single Barrel Rye Cask Strength...$34.99

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel American Whiskey...$37.99




Thursday:
Turkey Day! Get up early and head out for some exercise because it's going to be a great day of eating and drinking. The cooking and family fun usually starts up around noon at our household, with most just snacking throughout the day on left overs from the night before. If there is football on you might as well have a beer. Our Side Project Merci is a wonderfully tart beer to share with your out of town guests. It will prime the pallet for the feast to come. As for the main event don't stress about the wine pairings there are so many flavors on the table that whatever you want to drink is bound to pair with something. Our family tends to lean towards lighter reds and whites for the meal but that certainly doesn't mean you have to. Below are some of my favorite Thanksgiving wines.


White Wines:
2016 Hugel Gentil $16.99
2017 Lancyre Roussanne $19.99
2016 Roland Laventreaux Chablis VV $29.99
