The Isaac Bowman Pioneer Spirit whiskey is aged in new, charred American white oak barrels, with no age statement specifically available, though it reportedly falls in the 4.5-5.5 year range. The port barrels used for finishing come from Virginia and Portugal, made using American and French Limousin oak, and the whiskey ages in these from 3-6 months before blending to create the bourbon to be bottled. It’s bottled at 92 proof.

“A. Smith Bowman Distillery is excited to announce it will be launching Isaac Bowman Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels, as part of the Distillery’s core line of spirits. This Isaac Bowman Pioneer Spirit will be made using the same process as the 2016 World’s Best Bourbon.”

Appearance: 

Glossy with a port wine-kissed mahogany.

Nose: 

The port is noticeable from the get-go, as is stewed fruit earthy and sweet. Another layer of lighter sweetness brought to mind gummy bears, followed by subtle spice.

Palate: 

Layered and complex. Stone fruit baked in a dough (like traditional hamantaschen or Pueblo prune pies). The sweetness isn’t cloying, but rather playful and rich and it dissipates nicely. A bit of oak and warm char balances the finish.
