Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon Whiskey
Out of stock
Contradiction Bourbon is a blend of whiskies made by Smooth Ambler, and those that have been sourced from elsewhere. As Smooth Ambler say, "Whiskey we make and whiskey we do not" - hence the contradiction. 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.
Age - The majority whiskey is more than 9 years in age.
Full of oak, dried cherries, vanilla, and cinnamon creating a signature mature bourbon nose. Sweet from the wheat and spice from the rye and a bit of leather round out the palate. Its viscosity creates a smooth and pleasant finish.
