Smooth Ambler Old Scout American Whiskey

Not as good as their bourbons.

This was on the clearance rack at Bevmo. I read the reviews and they weren't very encouraging, but I'm a sucker for a sale, so I bought it anyway. This is a bottle from batch 66. On to the tasting. I get cotton candy, candy corn, pralines, rye and a fair amount of alcohol on the nose, the palate is sweet and smooth with a hint of cola and the longer I held it the hotter it got, the finish was hot to me and seemed to last a long time with the cola and candy corn hiding in the background.

Unfortunately, the most disappointing whiskey from Smooth Ambler. On the nose caramel, vanilla and alcohol. On the palate a bitter burnt oak and not much more
