John J Bowman Single Barrel Bourbon

This has an incredibly silky, creamy mouthfeel. Different people will get different profile notes from different batches, but I don't think anyone will miss how great this bourbon feels in the mouth. It just coats everything. Yes there's vanilla, cherry, molasses and oak (to me anyway) but boy does that mouthfeel shine through as a winner. 100% worth $50 and a nice upgrade from the regular small batch. Not that I'd want to, but if I could only find this on the secondary/inflated market, I'd still pay $80 for a bottle.

Sweet nice Barrel taste not overpowering, honey with hint of caramel. Does not drink hot but a nice hug. Would not let me change my rating I give it a 3.75 not 4.25

Full bodied, rich, slightly smoky. Delicious

Nose: Bread, oak, vanilla, and a touch of apple. Slight ethanol, but nothing to distract from the nose. Palate: Classic bourbon flavors with a hint of sweetness. Vanilla, caramel, and oak. Finish: A warming spice. Pleasant and long. A hint of pepper with sweet vanilla and chocolate. Very balanced. Thoughts: Definitely solid! Would not hesitate to pick up another bottle if found again.
