Smooth Ambler is launching Founders’ Cask Strength Series Bourbon, the first line extension introduced since the inaugural Rye recipe release last year. It’s aged 5 years, non-chill filtered and comprised of 71% corn, 21% rye and 8% malted barley. SRP: $54.99.
“What’s great about the Founders’ Cask Strength Series is we finally get to let y’all taste delicious whiskey we’ve been excitedly working on for years in our part of the whiskey world – West Virginia. With this Bourbon recipe, we add a modest amount of Rye to play well with high corn content and let it age in Char #4 casks in the Appalachian climate. It’s a surprising meddling of flavors and geographical superpowers that just work effortlessly. So please enjoy this newly minted convergence of flavors, from our home to yours.”
Founders’ Cask Strength Series Bourbon delivers many of the same distinct features associated with its Rye precursor: cask strength, non-chill filtered and released in limited batches. At this time, only six batches will be produced per year, with less than 900 total cases of product available nationwide. Whiskey drinkers will want to get their hands on a bottle of this bourbon recipe as soon as it hits shelves June 2022.
