A. Smith Bowman Brothers Cask Strength Bourbon at a thunderous 135.1 proof is one of America's most coveted cask-strength bourbons — produced at the legendary A. Smith Bowman Distillery in Fredericksburg, Virginia, sister distillery to the iconic Buffalo Trace. The distillery has been producing premium American whiskey since 1934 and ranks among the most respected craft producers in the country. This cask-strength expression is bottled directly from the barrel without dilution or chill filtration to deliver maximum impact and complexity. The pour reveals a deep amber-mahogany hue with serious viscosity. The nose explodes with rich caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, toasted oak, and warm baking spice. On the palate, the wine is full-throttle with concentrated dark fruit, vanilla, dark chocolate, sweet leather, cinnamon, and a thick, oily mouthfeel that coats the tongue. The finish is exceptionally long and warming with lingering oak spice and sweet caramel. A serious limited-release bottle for cask-strength bourbon collectors — best sipped neat with a single drop of water.
