Single Barrel. Cask Strength. Old Scout. Smooth Ambler — a single barrel cask strength rye whiskey from Smooth Ambler's Old Scout sourced program, presenting aged LDI-origin (Indiana) straight rye whiskey at natural barrel proof from the West Virginia independent bottler.
Smooth Ambler distinguishes its sourced expressions under the 'Old Scout' label, separating them from its house-distilled West Virginia production. The Old Scout rye draws on the LDI (Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana) rye tradition — the same Indiana-distilled rye mash bill that was the backbone of the American craft rye revival, presented here as a single barrel cask strength expression rather than the standard vatted format.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Old Scout label? Smooth Ambler's designation for sourced whiskeys, keeping them distinct from the house-distilled West Virginia production. Old Scout allows transparency about the spirit's origin while maintaining Smooth Ambler's curation standards.
- What is LDI rye? Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana — the Indiana facility (now MGP) that was the source for the majority of American craft rye during the revival era. The Indiana rye mash bill (95% rye, 5% malted barley) produces the clean, grain-forward profile that defined the category.
