About Smooth Ambler Old Scout Port Finish Straight Rye Whiskey

Embedded in the rolling Appalachian hills of Greenbrier County, West Virginia, Smooth Ambler Spirits is a testament to the craftsmanship and hard work of Master Distiller John Little and his co-founder, TAG Galyean. At their 5,200 square-foot distillery, Little and Galyean combine traditional distillation techniques with state-of-the-art equipment to produce remarkable spirits that are bold, complex, and perfectly balanced.

“Any distillery in the United States should be a feather in the cap of the local community,” explains John Little. “We buy almost all of our grains locally. Our waste goes to a local farmer. We are a tourist attraction for the area and we pay a ton of taxes. This business is what small business in America is all about.” At Smooth Ambler, they combine the mountain air, natural waters, and other natural resources with state-of-the-art distilling equipment in order to craft their lineup of artisan spirits.

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Port Finish is a straight rye that was finished in French oak port casks. Bottled at 103 proof, it’s a bold whiskey with the rye spice notes softened with dried fruit from the port casks. It has received 91 points from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2021.
