Established in 2009 by Tinsley Azariah Galyean, Jr. and John Little, Smooth Ambler Spirits is a state-of-the-art distillery located in the rural Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia. By combining modern technology, high quality natural resources and a hands-on distillation process, Smooth Ambler is able to produce remarkable craft spirits which are bold, complex and perfectly balanced.

Contradiction is non-chill filtered and is full-bodied, with notes of dried fruit and butter rum, and has the end-result of tasting like a four-grain bourbon.
