115.4 proof. 9 years. 'Bonfire.' Barrel 710. 1789 SAS #5. Smooth Ambler Old Scout — a named single barrel expression in the Old Scout program, combining the SAS #5 selection series with the evocative Bonfire barrel name that gives individual character a distinctive identity.
The 1789 SAS designation within the Smooth Ambler program refers to a specific sourcing series or account selection — with SAS #5 being the fifth expression in that sub-series. The Bonfire barrel name, applied to the 9-year Barrel 710 at 115.4 proof, adds the named single barrel element that distinguishes premium selections within the Old Scout lineup from the standard series releases.
At 9 years and 115.4 proof, this expression is in the approachable-to-mid range of the current Wooden Cork Smooth Ambler collection, below the 10-year Ruby Slippers (117.0) and the 15-year Very Old Scout in terms of age but with strong proof concentration for its maturity level.
