A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon

A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Virginia Straight Bourbon (Limited Annual Release)

Experience the raw power of Virginia’s oldest distillery. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and allocated American whiskey, is proud to offer the A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon. This annual limited edition is one of the most anticipated releases in the whiskey world, renowned for its "hazmat" level proofs and uncompromising intensity.

Hand-selected by Master Distiller David Bock, this bourbon is the unvarnished truth of the Bowman profile. It is aged for a minimum of 10 years in the fluctuating Virginia climate, which drives the spirit deep into the oak. Bottled completely uncut and non-chill filtered, the proof varies by batch but consistently lands in the scorching 135 to 144+ proof range.

Despite the stratospheric ABV, A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength is legendary for its drinkability. It offers a viscous, oily texture and a symphony of deep fruit and caramelized sugar that can only be achieved through a decade of maturation and zero dilution.

Tasting Notes (Typical Profile):

• Nose: A heavy, aromatic blanket of dark cherry, polished leather, and toasted graham cracker. As it opens, notes of candy apple and rich maple syrup emerge.

• Palate: Thick, oily, and mouth-coating. The heat is present but carries massive flavors of roasted nuts, sweet raisins, and raspberry jam. A complex layer of vanilla toffee and dark chocolate balances the "hazmat" proof.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and crisp. The finish evolves from spicy cinnamon and oak tannins to a lingering, refreshing note of crisp apple and burnt sugar.

This is not a pour for the faint of heart—it is a collector’s centerpiece that delivers full-throttle flavor. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier source for this elusive Virginia gem.
