Smooth Ambler Old Scout Bourbon 7 Year

NOSE: Lots of vanilla, little bit of date or plum maybe, and some cinnamon. A little strong on the alcohol for the proof. Nice, not overly complex. PALATE: Classic bourbon flavors, sweet, caramel and vanilla, nice cinnamon notes a little stronger than they were on the nose. Somewhat thin mouthfeel. Mellow nicely, the strong alcohol on the nose does not make the palate, which is good. FINISH: smooth, ever so slightly smoky, more cinnamon and spice, slightly peppery. THOUGHTS: Nothing too complicated here, but a very nice pour. Enjoyable, am not going to kill myself to find the 7 year anywhere I can, interested in the 10 year and when they start distilling their own.

Sweet nose...maybe apricot and some vanilla quick spicy hot black pepper dry finish. Black pepper finish lingers. Nice one

Easy drinking, smooth and sweet. This is the 10 year single barrel from San Francisco Wine Trading Company.
