Smooth Ambler is a really cool, independent distillery that was opened in the hills of West Virginia. The distillery was started and is still run by owner/master distiller, John Little – the man with the big plans.
Knowing that they have their work cut out for them to compete with the vast amounts of storied distilleries in Kentucky, the “little guys” at Smooth Ambler bust their butts day in, day out and every time I visit there, I’m more and more impressed by the quality. Critics have taken notice too as it consistently finds its way onto lists of ‘Top Non-Kentucky Bourbon’.
I tasted 12 barrels with John the last time I was down there & I could have selected 2 or 3 that would be worthy. The one that I walked away with was the best tasting single barrel that I have ever sampled from a small craft distiller. Especially when you consider that this is a full proof bourbon under 50 bucks!! Plus, it has a label so ugly that it’s actually awesome. This is a throw back for sure.

This one is an aromatic fireworks show followed by a Big Red with a mouthful of red and black currants, plum, and licorice. There’s some notes of cedar, crushed herbs, and nutmeg here too that all mesh together nicely to create a lush, full-bodied wine with plenty of layers and a lengthy memorable finish.
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
Back in the day, Widow Jane used to be a staple at Nicholas Wines. But as its popular has gone crazy, it’s been tougher and tougher to get my hands on any. This is a hyper small batch bourbon that was aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered and proofed with Widow Jane’s signature limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines in New York. It’s a doozy of a bottle at 93 Proof and has notes of vanilla, nutmeg, graham cracker and sweet tobacco.
