Gambler 500 Small Batch Whiskey
Gambler 500 Small Batch Whiskey is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL small batch American whiskey from 503 Distilling in Oregon — an 80% corn and 20% malted barley mash aged four years in oak barrels, proofed down from barrel strength with pure Cascade water. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
This whiskey was built with the Gambler 500, the nationwide off-road rally where beat-up cars, back roads and good stories are the whole point — 503 Distilling (founded 2017 in Oregon City) made it to taste like the end of a long day on the trail. Sales help fund the Sons of Smokey, the cleanup crew that hauls trash off public lands after the rally rolls through, so every bottle does a little trail work of its own.
Tasting profile: caramel, toffee and vanilla over a clean, grain-forward body, finishing smooth and easy — a fireside pour that drinks well above its proof. Browse the 503 Distilling brand collection, more American whiskey, and the full spirits collection.
Serving note: neat, on the rocks, or in a back-road Old Fashioned — it is an approachable sipper built for sharing.
