Smooth Ambler Contradiction Rye is a bold and expertly blended straight rye whiskey combining house-distilled rye from West Virginia with carefully sourced MGP rye from Indiana. Bottled at a robust 105 proof, this blend marries the spice-forward character of MGPs 95% rye mash bill with the rounder, earthy notes of Smooth Amblers own distillate. The nose opens with aromas of mint, baking spice, and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers bursts of rye grain, dark chocolate, and cracked pepper, followed by a long, warming finish with herbal and oaky complexity. A powerful and well-structured rye that delivers depth and distinction in every sip.
