Smooth Ambler Contradiction is a unique and intriguing bourbon whiskey that lives up to its name. Here's what makes it interesting:

A Blend of Blends:

    • Contradiction isn't your typical single-distillery bourbon. Instead, it's a blend of multiple bourbons, each with its own character. This creates a complex and layered flavor profile that's anything but contradictory.
    • The blend typically includes a younger wheated bourbon made by Smooth Ambler themselves, along with older rye-based bourbons sourced from MGP in Indiana. This combination balances the smooth sweetness of wheat with the spicy notes of rye.

Full-Bodied and Flavorful:

    • Contradiction isn't shy about its taste. It's a full-bodied bourbon with bold flavors that evolve as you sip. Expect notes of dried fruit, butter rum, and a hint of leather from the rye, balanced by caramel and sweet wheat.
    • It's non-chill filtered, which means it retains its natural oils and flavors, adding to its rich and viscous mouthfeel.

Awards and Accolades:

    • Contradiction's unique blend and bold flavors have garnered it praise from critics and bourbon enthusiasts alike. It's won numerous awards, including the "Best in Category" at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Versatility:

    • While Contradiction can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full complexity, it also shines in cocktails. Its bold flavor profile stands up well in classics like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

Overall:

Smooth Ambler Contradiction is a bourbon for those who appreciate bold flavors and a unique story. It's a testament to the art of blending and a perfect example of how contradiction can sometimes lead to something truly delicious.
