New Episode: Pour Decisions – A. Smith Bowman Showdown & The Impact of High-Proof Bourbons
The Bourbon Round Table returns! In this episode of Pour Decisions, Garret, Travis, Shawn, and Phil engage in a head-to-head comparison of two notable offerings from A. Smith Bowman Distillery: Cask Strength Batch #3 and Special Release Batch #24. Both bourbons are celebrated for their robust profiles and unique characteristics.
Cask Strength Batch #3, aged a minimum of nine years and bottled at a formidable 135.1 proof, presents aromas of candy apples and rich maple, with pronounced flavors of sweet raisins and vanilla, culminating in a toasted toffee finish.
Special Release Batch #24 is part of A. Smith Bowman’s experimental Oak Series, aged for 12 years in American White Oak barrels and bottled at 135 proof. This expression offers a vibrant red hue with a nose of tart apple and dried berries, a palate featuring raspberry jam and smoky undertones, and an exceptionally smooth finish with lingering sweetness.
Episode Highlights:
• Side-by-Side Tasting: The panel delves into the nuances of each bourbon, comparing their noses, palates, and finishes. Listeners will gain insights into the distinct profiles of these high-proof offerings.
• High-Proof Bourbons & Cask Strength Offerings: A discussion on the allure and challenges of high-proof bourbons, including how cask strength expressions influence flavor perception and consumer preferences.
• Community Influence on Bourbon Pricing: An exploration of how bourbon enthusiasts and online communities impact market trends, availability, and pricing of sought-after bottles.
A must-listen for bourbon aficionados interested in deep dives into premium expressions and the dynamics of the bourbon market.
