Smooth Ambler 14 Year Old Very Old Scout Bourbon 750ml ($65.99)
The Very Old Scout is likely to be the best mature Bourbon you’ll taste this year. It might not be the best Bourbon of 2012, but unlike other limited edition items that sellout in seconds, you’ll actually be able to get one. The days of seeing Pappy Van Winkle on the shelf are over. We get hundreds of requests every week for bottles we don’t have and cannot get. Bourbon is the hottest ticket in town and sadly the mature stocks were gobbled up faster than producers could replenish them. We’re stuck in a drought and there’s no end in sight because it takes time to age new whiskey. That’s where John Little comes in. His West Virginia distillery purchased the last mature stocks of Bourbon from LDI distillery some time back and he’s been secretly crafting them into a special cuvee – 40% 14 year, 40% 15 year, 15% 17 year, and 5% 19 year, bottled at 100 proof for a bold and spicy flavor. The result is a knockout. The sweetness from the charred oak permeates deep into the whiskey, baking spices dance on the palate, cinnamon and vanilla come big on the finish. While there isn’t much of this whiskey (about 3000 bottles total), we jumped on it fast and secured a fifth of it. If you know someone who loves Bourbon, you need to act now. We’re not expecting more, not for the holidays, not for Xmas – nothing on the horizon. Again, this is the best deal we’re going to see for Bourbon this year, or perhaps next year as well. A fantastic deal while it lasts. (David Driscoll, K&L)
