Re: New Smooth Ambler "Curated" Bourbon - Very Old Scout
I picked up a bottle of the 19/21 YO blend, and boy, is that some good stuff! I had actually thought I was buying the 14YO, having read positive reviews, and thought it might have been mislabeled until I confirmed the difference. A lot of the super aged bourbons don't rate that high with me due to the woody finish, but this one is fantastic. Highly recommended.

I have my eyes open for a bottle of the 14 year or older and haven't come across any yet.

I know where there may be a 19 yr available. PM me for details.
Re: New Smooth Ambler "Curated" Bourbon - Very Old Scout
I love the boys over at K&L here in LA (Big up to the Daves,) for introducing our market to the Smooth Ambler team, in addition to the myriad amazing spirits they have. I just picked up 2 bottles of the 14 year on K&L's suggestion, as they really know their whiskey. They did a side by side tasting comparison with Pappy 15, which you can read about on their blog...and amazingly enough, the Ambler not only did quite well, but it beat the Pappy in a couple of people's opinions. It's also not $200+ a bottle on eBay, it's about $65 if you can find it....tho I think they might be sold out of it pretty quickly, as they only have 3,000 bottles, I believe? Can't wait to crack this tonight for my birthday!
