"New Riff is still too, well, new to have established “classic” flavors, but this bourbon certainly shows consistency with the distillery’s bottled in bond version—amped up here at barrel proof. Almonds and berries lead the nose, but it boasts voluminous depth with notes of peanuts, iced tea, orange blossom, tobacco leaf, and baking spice. Dark fruit, textured spice, savory peanuts, dark chocolate, mint oil, orange, almond, and cherry on the palate; adding water is a good idea. The finish extends all the flavors with seemingly boundless length. Every sip is thrilling. 92/100" - Whisky Advocate

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Bourbon 5 Year Old
Distillery Bottled, Limited Release. Exclusive Selection for Wine & Beyond. Barrel No. 24129.
750 ml / Indiana, USA / 58.1% ABV

"I’m glad that Smooth Ambler was patient and brought back these cask strength bourbons at 5 years old, although I truly wish that they hadn’t taken them away at all. This Total Wine Selection of Smooth Ambler Old Scout 5 Year Bourbon is very much a quintessential younger MGP bourbon with those toasted and smoky sugar, citrus, and licorice notes lathered all over the scents and flavors." - The Whiskey Shelf
