Bourbon
John J. Bowman
Nose
Unusual green apple on the initial approach that disappears on revisit; pleasant with chocolate undertones.
Palate
Dark chocolate, malted chocolate very forward. No green apple carries to the palate. Chocolate-dominant with leathery undertones.
Finish
Long and warming with leather notes that linger in the throat.
Recommended
An intriguing Virginia bourbon with pronounced dark chocolate and leather on the palate and a surprisingly long, warming finish.
