For anyone wondering, Bowman Brothers is "rumored"(it is 👀🤐🤟) to be Buffalo Trace produced bourbon brought from Kentucky to the A Smith Bowman distillery in Virginia (also owned by parent company Sazerac), distilled once more on their smaller still and aged in Virginia for the rest of it's life before being picked for us to share! (Nerd note: It's Buffalo mashbill #1 (used in Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Benchmark), and Mashbill #2 (which is the whiskey used in Blanton's and Elmer T Lee) distilled twice at Buffalo Trace, blended together in secret proportions, and redistilled a third time in Bowman's custom copper still in Virginia)
Despite the label saying "Small Batch" it IS a single barrel. They do them so rarely they don't even have a label for it, but just the awesome metal personalized medallion to denote it's a pick!
It was aged in a char #4 barrel for JUST over 8 years (barreled May 19, 2017).
"It aged in our warehouse A1 for the majority of its time. This warehouse is below grade so it doesn’t get as many temperature swings leading to slow aging and a stronger development of flavors. Our standard Bowman Brothers is aged 6 years so this was a truly unique barrel. I hope they enjoy it!"
-David Bock, Distiller
From first pop, we were entranced by the creamy quality that *somehow* comes across on the nose, which also has lovely baking spices and fruit pastries.
The palate showcases wonderful baked cherry 🍒 notes, a delectable clovy cinnamon note along with hot caramel sauce. All of this with a very thick thick mouthfeel - especially outstanding for a 90 proof whiskey! It is so flavorful and creamy we are blown away! 🤤🤯
Be sure to join us Saturday as we're sure it'll go fast, especially once people start sipping it!
Cheers all! 🦬🔥🥃🦬🔥🥃
