A Smith Bowman Distillery recently announced the return of its Cask Strength Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Now in its fourth year, this annual cask strength is the result of continuous year-long tastings to blend the best barrels available. Hand-selected by Distiller David Bock, this year’s release has been aged a minimum of ten years and presents itself at 139.7 proof.
“What our distillation team is trying to showcase with the Cask Strength series is an unvarnished truth of quality bourbon in its natural form,” said A. Smith Bowman Distillery Distiller David Bock. “There are no finishes with Cask Strength, meaning we must be meticulous when selecting barrels and blending the liquid. Each Cask Strength release is a unique sipping experience with its own special flavor profile and this fourth release is an excellent addition to the series!
“It’s rare to taste a high proof bourbon with such a colorful flavor profile,” Bock added. “Our Cask Strength series is meant to give whiskey enthusiasts a delicious, bold and authentic tasting experience. I believe those who try Cask Strength #4 will be very pleased with this latest release.”
