Where is Smooth Ambler distilled?

Answered by Arthur Reyes

Smooth Ambler is distilled in West Virginia, specifically in the town of Maxwelton. This picturesque town, nestled in the rolling hills of Greenbrier County, provides the perfect backdrop for the production of our fine whiskeys.

The distillery itself is a sight to behold. Housed in a beautifully renovated 19th-century flour mill, it combines old-world charm with distilling techniques. As you walk through the doors, you are immediately greeted by the warm and inviting aroma of aging . The air is thick with the scent of oak , caramel, and vanilla.

Inside the distillery, you will find a team of dedicated craftsmen, each with a passion for creating exceptional . They meticulously oversee every step of the distillation process, from milling the grains to fermenting the mash and distilling the whiskey. It truly is a labor of love.

One of the things that sets Smooth Ambler apart is our commitment to using locally sourced ingredients. We believe that the quality of our whiskey starts with the grains we use, so we work closely with local farmers to ensure that only the finest grains make their way into our mash bills. This not only supports our local community but also gives our whiskeys a unique and distinct flavor profile.

The distillery itself is a marvel of engineering. The copper stills, gleaming in the soft light, are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of Smooth Ambler whiskey. The distillers carefully monitor the temperature and flow rate throughout the distillation process to ensure that only the purest and most flavorful spirits make their way into the aging barrels.

Once the whiskey has been distilled, it is transferred to charred American oak barrels, where it begins its journey towards becoming the smooth and complex spirit that Smooth Ambler is known for. The barrels are carefully stored in our rickhouse, where they will age for several years, absorbing the flavors and aromas of the wood.

While Smooth Ambler primarily distills its own wheated , we also source bourbon from other distilleries to create our Old Scout line. This allows us to offer a diverse range of bourbons with unique flavor profiles. By blending a little of our sourced bourbon with our own wheated bourbon, we are able to create a whiskey that is both smooth and sweet, with a complexity that is truly unparalleled.
