John J Bowman Single Barrel Virginia Straight Bourbon pays homage to the great, great uncle of Abram S. Bowman, founder of A. Smith Bowmen Distillery. This ongoing release from the Sazerac family of brands is NAS premium-sourced whiskey aged a minimum of 9 years in new charred oak to a finished barrel strength of 100 proof. Triple-distilled, estimated to be twice by Buffalo Trace and at least once by Smith Bowman, John J Bowman SB Virginia Bourbon is composed of an undisclosed mash bill containing at least 50% corn. Winning the esteemed World’s Best Bourbon award in 2017, this premium whiskey is an ongoing selection from Bowman and offers a nose full of sweet caramel and spice matched by a palate of oak, vanilla, and herbs.
