Outdoor Dawg Whiskey Lovers -
I spent the week ahead of Memorial Day in Myrtle Beach with two of my great friends that I served in Iraq with. This has become an annual outing for us, and I find myself looking forward to it more and more each year. I can remember in the late 70's and early 80's when - over 30 years after the WWII - my PawPaw's USMC buddies would come to visit each year. I hope that 30 years from now we are still doing this.
Based on my travels, I now believe South Carolina and TN have some of the largest whiskey selections at the most attractive prices on the open market. This year I picked up:
-Smooth Ambler Contradiction (the purpose of this reivew)
-Rhetoric 22 Year Old Bourbon
-Green Spot Irish Whiskey
-High West Rendezvous Rye
-High West Double Rye
-High West Campfire (blend of bourbon, rye and Islay scotch)
I have the following tastings planned for the coming months:
-The High West series
-The 20's (Barterhouse 20 YO, Redbreast 21 YO, Rhetoric 22 YO)
-Irishman (Green Spot, Redbreast 12, Redbreast 15)
Tonight, I have to sing the praises of the Smooth Ambler Contradiction. I am in love with this whiskey. It is a blend of a young wheater and an older high rye bourbon. They really hit the mark on this one, and I am glad I have two bottles.

This whiskey has that smooth wheat feel on the front end, with the spicy rye on the back, and a nice mellow burn to finish. It is red in the glass, and has a great mouthfeel. I wish I could get this in AL, as it would be my everyday.
If you see this, get two, cause the first one will go fast. I picked these up for $50 a bottle, and feel that is a great price for what you are getting on the current market. Much more than that, and I would think twice; and if you can find it for less, get a case and call me.
Onward to the CWS. HailState!
