THE BOURBON ENTHUSIAST Old Scout Straight Bourbon Whiskey BARREL # 27725 750 ml

This is a single barrel pick of Smooth Ambler's Old Scout Straight Bourbon Whiskey, selected by The Bourbon Enthusiast group from barrel #27725 and aged 10 years in charred oak. Old Scout is sourced bourbon, and a decade in barrel brings out a deep amber color with caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak dominating the nose. The palate is smooth and full, layering toffee, oak, and baking spice, with a long finish that carries a light sweetness through to the end. Bottled at 90 proof, it has enough weight to stand up to a large ice cube without disappearing. As a single-barrel selection, expect some variation from other Old Scout barrels on the shelf.

How to drink Old Scout Straight Bourbon (Barrel #27725)

Neat or with a single large cube both work well at 90 proof — enough water from one cube opens up the caramel and oak without flattening it. Good in an Old Fashioned if you want a sweeter, oak-forward base.
