Color: Auburn
Nose: Oak, Spice, Almonds, and Dark Fruits

Body: Medium
Personality: Wedge Antilles
Impression: Another great offering from Smooth Ambler Spirits. The nose on this whiskey is great. We like this 9 year offering more than the 10 year old whiskey. They are both fantastic bourbons in their own right. This is why we really love single barrel whiskies. Each one has its own personality and allows you enjoy the symbiotic relationship of how the whiskey interacts with the barrel producing something special that you don't find in a small batch whiskey.
