This cask-strength bourbon is a blend of some of the best barrels at A. Smith Bowman’s disposal. Each barrel is hand-selected by A. Smith Bowman’s Distiller David Bock and matured for at least ten years.

The result is a non-chill-filtered, 139.7-proof whiskey that the brand says begins with a nose of leather, plums, and apple. The palate is a mix of raspberry chocolate, stone fruits, and cinnamon candy. The finish is warming and lingering and ends with a hint of apple.

“What our distillation team is trying to showcase with the Cask Strength series is an unvarnished truth of quality bourbon in its natural form,” Bock said in a press release.

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!”

Washington State's Woodinville has the perfect whiskey if you love tequila and bourbon. Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, the award-winning distillery is launching Tequila Finish Woodinville Flagship Bourbon.
Tequila Finish Woodinville Flagship Bourbon

Releasing this weekend, Tequila Finish Woodinville Flagship Bourbon is a limited-edition experimental whiskey that you'll want to add to your Cinco de Mayo table. Like all of Woodinville's whiskeys, this limited-release offering takes a bit of a journey. First, the grains are grown at the Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grains are trucked over the Cascade Mountains to the distillery in Woodinville. The new-make whiskey distilled there is sent back over the mountains and added to new American oak barrels seasoned by the elements for 18-24 months.

Barrell Full Proof

This one-of-a-kind bourbon blend isn’t a cask strength or barrel strength bourbon. Those whiskeys are bottled at their post barrel proof without adding water. Full proof bourbons are bottled at the same proof as they entered the barrel. Barrell Full Proof begins with the selection of individual barrels, which are then cut to return them to their original barrel entry proof.
