A. Smith Bowman Releases Cask Strength Bourbon Batch #2
A. Smith Bowman Distillery has announced the release of A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon Batch #2.
The second release of A. Smith Bowman’s annual cask strength offering is a marriage of barrels aged a minimum of 10 years, hand-selected by Master Distiller Brian Prewitt and Distiller David Bock and bottled uncut and non-chill filtered at 144.5 proof (72.25% ABV).
A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon Batch #2 is described as having aromas of “cherry and toast with a slight hint of leather and caramel.” The palate exhibits “apple and cherry flavors followed by vanilla and roasted nuts, striking a balance between soft sweet floral notes and strong wood char flavors.” The finish is “slick, quite peppery and crisp with an aftertaste that leaves your tastebuds bouncing with memory of the delightfully intense experience.”
A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon Batch #2 will be available in select markets in the United States beginning mid-December, as well as through the A. Smith Bowman Distillery gift shop via online lottery. A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon Batch #2 carries a suggested retail price of $99.99 for a 750 mL bottle.
