Tasted as Day 18 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2022. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, and the ABV, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This single-barrel store pick is from The Party Source in Covington, KY. Old Scout is made by Smooth Ambler in West Virginia. However, this particular whiskey was sourced from Indiana (MGP) and bottled by Smooth Ambler. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
