Smooth Ambler Spirits Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon NV 750ml

Bright, shimmering bronze/ochre color; flawlessly clear of sediment. This opening aroma is subdued, a little flaxen-like, slightly beany; later inhalations pick up aridly dry notes of cotton fiber, burlap, and split pea. Entry is substantial on the palate, drier than I had anticipated, intensely woody/oaky/resiny; midpalate features more of the candy corn, caramel corn aspects that are true to the genre. Finishes in a flurry of oily texture, toasted corn-based, corn fritter, honey ham flavor.
