On Monday, Sazerac’s A. Smith Bowman Distillery announced the return of its coveted Cask Strength Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Now in its fourth year, the annual offering from Virginia’s oldest distillery is sought after for its high-octane proof and bold flavor profile.
Crafted by distiller David Bock, this year’s release was aged a minimum of ten years, bottled at a whopping 139.7 proof, and is both uncut and non-chill filtered. According to the brand, the bourbon offers soft raspberry and chocolate notes, rich stone fruit flavors, and a hint of cinnamon.
