Smooth Ambler Old Scout Bourbon 7 Year

Nose: very subtle. Honestly, not a lot there. Does not excite the tastebuds for what’s a lot to come. Palate: earthy - rye influence is dominant. I leather and a hint of plug tobacco. A bit thin, but it works for this one. Not great overall at this point. Finish: strangely, this bourbon finishes strong. Mix “hug” lingers for a but along with leathery, chocolate tones. Makes me want a nice cigar. Overall, a little disappointed. I had high hopes for this bourbon based on my research. It didn’t live up to expectations, but still has a place on my bar. Will pair very well with a nice fat cigar.

49.5% 7 Year MGP Nose- Maple syrup; rye spice; caramel; almonds, dried cherries Palate- Caramel; Rich vanilla; almonds; dried apricots; spicy oak Finish- Medium/long, oily finish; Rye spices; Gingerbread; aged oak Great pour. Not overly complex, but balanced and very tasty. The nose has great aromas of almonds and rye spices (traditional MGP notes). The palate isn’t anything crazy, but I get tons of vanilla, aged oak, and dried fruits. My favorite part of this is the gingerbread spice I get on the finish, just lovely.

I am happy I tried this. Decent pour with a little bit for everyone. Sweet and a touch of the burn, but not too much of either. I would buy this again. I would say the description on this app is spot on, but I did not need water or ice. Well worth the 29.99 sale price. 3.3/5

Caramel, spice, vanilla, rich, rye, toasted cereal, is that peanut lingering on the finish? Idk how would I know with a peanut allergy. Average, but this sweet, rich pour is certainly enhanced and tasty on this hot Washington DC night

nose is a classic American vanilla forward bourbon but the finish reminds me of almost an Islay Scotch with subtle Briney almost earthy charcoal finish. Minty, dry and a touch hot but the finish is quick doesn't linger. lightly tanic.

I generally thought this was decent bourbon. It has grassy and spicy notes on the mouth because of the rye. Those were the most prominent notes for me. Slight sweetness on the nose, a bit of ethanol as well.
