John J Bowman Single Barrel Bourbon

Nose: Wood, vanilla, carmel Palate: Spice, cinnamon, and corn that quickly gives way to sweet vanilla frosting midway. Finish: A medium finish with a lingering heat from that 100 proof. Lots of comparisons to another single barrel bourbon in the same distillery family A. Smith Bowman belongs to. I don't think the two compare- they are both fine sippers on their own accord. This one brings sweetness but has a good amount of spice as well.

👃 Cherry. Apple. Leather. In that order. 👄 Might drink a little hotter than I'd expect for a 100 proof aged 10 years, but the flavor is nice. Butterscotch and sunflower seeds 🧐 🏁 Walking through a cherry orchard, right? They were like these cherries are dope, and you were like I'ma try that. Boom. Nuff said.

👃 Hotter than expected. Maybe a little dark fruit. 👄 I think I can taste the port wine. It's sweet. Maybe too sweet. 🏁 Nothing special. Color me disappointed
