This week we welcome John Little from Smooth Ambler onto the show! John is the Founder of Smooth Ambler and he brings the heat in this episode! Jesse and John go through 4 bottles of his delicious Rye whiskey all while learning that they went to same college and knew some of the same people 25 years ago! It's a blast from the past while still meeting for the first time. They talk how he started Smooth Ambler, how hard it is to get a whiskey brand off the ground, owning his own narrative and telling the whiskey story he wanted to tell. He's making some delicious whiskey and we thank him for sharing it with us for this episode of The Bourbon Showdown podcast!
