Smooth Ambler Old Scout 5 Year Single Barrel - Chips Liquor Private Selection

This is a single barrel of Smooth Ambler Old Scout picked for Chips Liquor — MGP high-rye bourbon filled October 14, 2014, aged five years in a 53-gallon #3-char barrel, bottled uncut at 119.4 proof. John Little and TAG Galyean founded Smooth Ambler in Maxwelton, West Virginia in 2009; while their own whiskey aged they bottled MGP barrels under the Old Scout name and said so on the label, and the single-barrel program became one of the most chased in American whiskey — Pernod Ricard bought a majority stake in 2016. The Chips Liquor barrel is MGP's 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malt bourbon, filled 10/14/2014 in a new Independent Stave 53-gallon #3-char barrel, aged five years, and bottled from that one barrel at 59.7% ABV — 119.4 proof — non-chill-filtered. Expect the MGP high-rye signature at strength: a nose of caramel, cherry, cinnamon, and rye spice, a big, spicy palate of brown sugar, chocolate-covered cherry, and pepper with real body, and a long, hot, sweet finish. Honest note: five-year MGP at 119 proof from a single barrel is the Old Scout format that made the brand — this one exists only here, and when it's gone, it's gone. Neat, a drop of water. Old Scout, ours.
