A. Smith Bowman Distillery 'Bowman Brothers' Pioneer Spirit Small Batch Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey(750ml) Size:750ml melds with a pleasant touchCritic tasting note: "Candied on the nose, with saltwater taffy, bubble gum, sweet watermelon, cherry ganache, and cinnamon French toast, along with earthy aromatics of leather and dried grass. Chocolate covered cherries, orange tart, vanilla cream, and mint on a palate that shows lots of berried sweetness, savory spice, and well integrated oak. Cinnamon coffee cake and vanilla almond ice cream anchor the finish. Shallow but pronounced flavors."
