About this bottle
Smooth Ambler Contradiction is a blended straight bourbon combining two distinct whiskeys made at the West Virginia distillery: a high-rye bourbon and a wheated bourbon, blended together rather than released separately. That deliberate contradiction — high-rye spice against wheated softness — is the whole concept behind the release, aiming to capture both styles' strengths in one bottle. Expect caramel and baking spice on the nose, a full, layered palate balancing sweetness against rye bite, and a smooth, warm finish. Smooth Ambler distills its own whiskey from grain to bottle in Maxwelton, West Virginia, a point of pride for a relatively young craft distillery.
How to drink Smooth Ambler Contradiction
Sip it neat to taste both mash bills working together, or use it in an Old Fashioned where the dual character adds extra complexity.
